Seagrass occupies only 0.1% of the ocean floor yet crucially supports marine ecosystems, filtering water and capturing carbon, but is declining at 7% annually.
Ulysses Ecosystem Engineering's robot accelerates seagrass restoration by 100x, being far more efficient and economical than traditional volunteer efforts in harsh conditions.
The idea for Ulysses came during a surf trip, sparked by a friend's story on a difficult seagrass planting experience, leading to a technology-driven solution.
Will O'Brien found the mission compelling; combining technology with ocean restoration to enhance biodiversity felt like a chance to follow his childhood aspirations.
