Marine Eco-Resilience Corps (MERC)
A modular restoration kit consisting of biodegradable substrate materials, hand-sown native seeds (algae, seagrasses), and simple, repairable tools. The Eco-Resilience Corps would train local workers on how to repair drones and maintain them to combat degradation.
Future Scenarios that inspired this product idea
Scientists develop AI-powered underwater drones equipped with substrate deployment systems that can autonomously identify suitable restoration locations and install appropriate substrates.
