Enhancing marine life through rejuvenation of endangered species
Our oceans are under huge pressure to survive from overfishing, pollution, chemical changes and global warming. Learn how Sea Life Rescue can change the tide with our rescue ships.

Bycatch is a significant threat to the health of our oceans
Wildlife can get entangled in fishing nets and lines as a result of poorly managed fisheries, leading to the death of millions of animals every year.
Seabirds
200,000/year in Europe alone
Shrimps
For every target shrimp, 14 non-targeted species are caught
Sharks
Longline fisheries catch sharks instead of the intended target at least 20-50% of the time
Dolphines, porpoises, whales
> 300,000per year
Turtles
> 300,000per year
Global fishing subsidies total $27 billion.
Of these, $20 billion are considered harmful.

- non-harmful subsidies
Farmed fish is not the only solution
Poor fish farming practices can cause pollution of surrounding waters and use products that may contain chemicals and antibiotics.
Many farmed fish such as grouper and salmon are fed with other wild caught fish
In the Wild
Death from microplastics
Wild spawned juveniles in early development sometimes eat microplastic before they have a fully developed stomach and die. Sea Life Rescue solves this problem by first feeding nutrient-rich foods to ensure the juveniles have the best energy reserves to develop a fully functioning digestive system before being released.
Collection & Reproduction
Catching & Spawning Adults
Adult fish are trapped in cages and transferred to special tanks on board the ship and spawn naturally. Every viable egg is fertilized, developing into juveniles feed a high energy diet free from microplastics.
On the ship
Feeding & Release
Thanks to the first feeding of nutrient rich food the juveniles have a fully developed stomach to pass through any microplastic they eat in the wild. Then they get released into nursery protected areas which have sea grass, weed beads, rocks and coral reefs for the juviniles to contine to grow into healthy fish.
Save the Oceans - Feed the World!
We develop advanced technologies for the repopulation of marine life focusing on critically endangered species while helping solve some of humanity's social and environmental issues.
Customized ships will release billions of fertilized eggs and juveniles, assisting in overcoming the effects of micro-plastics on the reproductive cycle of life in our oceans.
Our Rescue Ships
Sea Life Rescue is a modular and rapidly deployable Ocean Hatchery, tasked at rejuvenating critically endangered species around the globe to resolve critical biodiversity and humanitarian issues.
Rescue One
Vessels selected for reduced environmental impact, fuel efficiency, diesel electric propulsion and large cargo space.

Green Passport
Global Rejuvenation
Fish Species
Based on the IUCN (International Union of Conservation for Nature) Red List of endangered species and using proven aquaculture breeding techniques.
Global Dead Zones
Global Ocean Oxygen Network
Based on the finding of UNESCO’s Global Ocean Oxygen Network (GO2NE), related to deoxygenation of open ocean and coastal waters.
Wastewater from sewage and agriculture adds excess phosphates and nitrogen which stimulate blooms of noxious and toxic algae in coastal ecosystems.
Excess algae growth decomposes with aerobic bacteria causing hypoxic (oxygen-depleted) Dead Zones leading to eutrophication causing animals to die.
Dead Zones result in biodiversity collapse, major economic losses for coastal fishing industries, and release of (NOX) nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 300x more powerful than CO2.
Dead Zones can be prevented by rejuvenating the natural filter-feeding bivalves which consume the algae blooms, improving water clarity and reducing nutrients preventing oxygen-deficient dead zones from forming along coastal regions, as well as providing a sustainable benefit to the fishing industry.
Shellfish Species
What people are saying!
The next 10 years will be the most important in the next 10,000 years in terms of shaping a future where humans can have a hope for an enduring place within the natural systems that keep us alive.
Sylvia Earle
Marine Biologist
"The world’s oceans are becoming a ‘toxic soup’ of industrial waste and plastic." & "Industrial overfishing is more dangerous to the ocean than plastic"
