A trustless IoT system using Nostr and Bitcoin to measure and broadcast seawater quality data.
Tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size that result from the breakdown of larger plastic debris in marine environments.
Microplastics contaminate marine food chains, affecting marine life health and potentially human health through seafood consumption.
Traditional detection methods are time-consuming and expensive, making large-scale monitoring difficult for researchers and conservationists.
Advanced AI and machine learning technologies can automate detection, enabling faster and more accurate monitoring of microplastic pollution.
Traditional water quality monitoring systems are centralized, expensive to maintain, and vulnerable to data manipulation or loss. Many remote ocean areas lack consistent monitoring due to infrastructure limitations.
Without reliable water quality data, we cannot effectively track pollution sources, assess ecosystem health, or make informed policy decisions. This data gap particularly affects developing nations and remote marine areas.
SEAQ DAO creates a decentralized network of autonomous sensors that broadcast water quality data via Nostr protocol, ensuring data integrity through blockchain technology while reducing costs and increasing global coverage.
