1 Billion m² restored by 2050
We are on a mission to make ocean restoration viable at scale. Using our Meadow Maker system to plant seagrass up 100x faster than divers, we work with partners around the world to bring our oceans back to life.
Our Journey
2024
First prototype developed in
The Higgs Centre for Innovation
2025

Beyond
Robocean is expanding its network of projects to make seagrass restoration scalable, affordable, and accessible for anyone, anywhere in the world.
Robocean is building the future of marine ecosystem restoration in Edinburgh, Scotland. We work in The National Robotarium, where we leverage access to cutting edge facilities and research networks to build fast and efficiently.
