NEWS: SeaCras Launches PREVENT: A Campaign for Monitoring Pollution and Marine Health

As part of the PREVENT initiative, project partner SeaCras is expanding its cutting-edge monitoring technologies across a wider area, covering the Croatian islands of Mljet and Korčula, as well as the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. This initiative is being conducted in collaboration with the Institute of Marine Biology.

SeaCras technology leverages advanced AI detection algorithms applied to high-resolution satellite imagery. The system is entirely non-invasive to the environment and boasts the lowest greenhouse gas emissions throughout its entire lifecycle.

Korčula – Pupnatska Luka: One of Korčula’s most renowned beaches, often referred to as “paradise,” is monitored before, during, and after the tourist season to assess the impact of pollution. Despite its beauty, the beach remains under significant pressure from plastic waste and marine debris.

Mljet – Sutmiholjska Beach: This beach, located within Mljet National Park, is also being monitored for plastic litter and trash accumulation. Given its status as a protected area, this initiative is especially crucial for preserving the local ecosystem.
