Life thrives with clean waters 

Aquatrail analysis involves identifying and mapping the dispersion of pollutants or contaminants released into water bodies. By understanding the movement and fate of these substances, mitigation strategies can be developed to minimize their impact on aquatic ecosystems. These strategies include containment booms, chemical dispersants, bioremediation, and source control measures to prevent further pollution

This is essential to mitigate the industry’s substantial environmental impact, including water pollution from fuel emissions, wastewater discharge, and hull coatings. By embracing innovative technologies, such as electric propulsion, waste treatment systems, and eco-friendly materials, the yachting sector can significantly reduce its ecological footprint and contribute to healthier marine ecosystems.

Imposex, the development of male sex organs in female mollusks, is a growing concern in marine environments. Pharmaceuticals entering waterways through various sources disrupt the endocrine systems of these organisms, leading to reproductive abnormalities. This condition threatens the survival of many mollusk species and highlights the urgent need for effective wastewater treatment and pharmaceutical regulation.

Many unregulated sunscreen ingredients, such as oxybenzone and octinoxate are causing significant harm to coral reefs. These chemicals wash off swimmers and infiltrate marine ecosystems, disrupting coral growth, reproduction, and causing coral bleaching. Even trace amounts can have devastating effects on these delicate ecosystems. To protect coral reefs, it’s crucial to choose proven reef-safe sunscreens.
