Our software applications support marine spatial planning by assisting key decision-makers throughout their planning process: from data collection to tailored data analysis and scenarios assessment.
Keyseaobs engages stakeholders and reinforces the marine planning experience with advanced project management and collaboration features.
Key Data
Creating a unique comprehensive datalake that compiles and restructures data from multiple partners, accounting for each of the main marine activities and environmental data.
Keyseaobs’ datalake gathers and cross-references data on marine ecosystems and all maritime activities. High-quality data from multiple sources in a state-of-the-art big data architecture allows us to ensure the highest standards of reliability.
To Keyseaobs, remote sensing data is key to achieving an inclusive and sustainable marine management woldwide.
Key Understanding
Turning dense and complex data into understandable and actionable insights.
Keyseaobs, our proprietary exploration and analytics platform, is specifically designed to extract extensive information from our datalake. It includes interactive geospatial exploration features that offer an in-depth understanding of the dynamics at stake in your maritime environment.
The inclusion of insightful charts and KPI widgets allows a parallel analytical reading of these important ecological and geospatial dynamics.
Key Collaboration
Organizing your work, collaborating with your team and sharing with other stakeholders.
Beyond understanding and action, Keyseaobs believes in the importance of stakeholder collaboration and engagement. Keyseaobs platform is equipped with advanced management tools to share any analysis with your team as well as with external stakeholders.
Engage, comment and elaborate using the visualizations and analytics of our platform. Our software suite also includes project management tools to assign and follow up on tasks and monitor your project’s evolution throughout time.
Key Support
Helping you make informed key decisions with tailored projections and recommendations based on data science and machine learning.
Keyseaobs relies on the combination of data science and machine learning to process and analyze historical and present data from your marine space, to support you in building a sustainable future. We can help you identify existing and potential conflicts related to both Activity-Environment (A-E) and Activity-Activity (A-A) scenarios.
We can also provide specific activity-related macro-area planning scenarios, recommendations that take into account various precise environment components.
Wether you represent a NGO, work for the government or are an expert, Keyseaobs will help you achieve your goals.
Marine Protected Area
[ISSUE]
Poor representation of habitats
Many habitats are not well represented in the current network of protected areas. For example, less than 4% of the ocean is protected. Freshwater habitats are also poorly represented.
[KSO SOLUTION]
Representation of habitats
Relevant data coming from satellite sensors and models clearly represented through KSO marine space mapping. Our network of international partners close the gap on data acquisition and availability.
[ISSUE]
Lack of connectivity between protected areas
To address this, corridors must be put in place between protected areas to allow species to move from one protected habitat to another. The linking of protected areas to form networks or systems is very important for the survival of many species; however, such connectivity remains rare.
[KSO SOLUTION]
Connectivity between protected areas
Map exploration tools together with analytics powered by our unique database allow a better understanding of the relationship between areas for protection enhancement.
[ISSUE]
Lack of funds
Putting representative protected area networks in place and managing them effectively requires money. However, few countries, including the richest, have managed to define and establish ways to provide long-term, sustainable financing for individual protected areas, let alone a network. This funding gap is particularly acute in developing countries and for marine protected areas.
[KSO SOLUTION]
Optimizing the budget
Giving clarity into what is happening and what is need to be done is one of the possibilities with KSO through interactive KPI and sharing capabilities. Stakeholders and donors would be better touch by the transparency and the effectiveness of your work. Actors will optimise their budgets by the full integration capabilities of data, assessment and management offered by KSO.
[ISSUE]
Poor management
The declaration of a protected area is not an end result: a whole series of conditions must be in place for protected areas to be effective. Effective management is essential to ensure that nature is being conserved within a park's boundaries. Management activities include monitoring the health of habitats, ensuring that the rules of the protected area are respected, and working with local people to balance nature protection with their needs and aspirations.
[KSO SOLUTION]
Improving management
Covering all the cycle of a marine project is now possible trough KSO: Collecting the best data, analyzing the synergy for new and existing activities and manage them all in a systemic approach to better build the future of the marine space.
[ISSUE]
Human activities
Closely linked with poor management are threats from widespread and either poorly managed or illegal human activities occurring within protected areas in many parts of the world. Human activities outside of protected areas are also often a threat – such as those leading to pollution, climate change, and the introduction of invasive species
[KSO SOLUTION]
Evaluating Human activities
Creating a sustainable Blue Economy means having the capacity to evaluate any of the current existing ones and plan some adaptation to better introduce new ones. KSO offers a decision support giving insight on synergies and conflicts to achieve the Blue transformation
