Scalable coastal natural capital accounting using state-of-the-art Earth Observation and artificial intelligence

Ocean Ledger provides proprietary geospatial models that leverage multi-decadal historical geomorphic changes (shoreline movement, underwater topography, and ecosystem protection (seagrass, coral, mangroves, tidal flats) to assess and predict erosion & accretion-related damage (i.e flood-risk) to new and existing nearshore assets and target / monitor coastal adaptation interventions (nature-based or non-nature-based).

Our methods are built upon 8 years of R&D at the German Aerospace Center ($900K in R&D funding) - we use globally-applicable methods but produce locally-adapted models that can fit any scale (asset, city-wide, regional, national).

Our Dashboard & API Product enables:

• Access to historical, observational geomorphic and environmental trends
• A spatial, dynamic baseline to assess asset-level physical & natural risk
• Climate scenario predictions for 'coastal impact' to physical assets & community vulnerability (floods, storms, sea-level rise)
• Scenario-analyses for adaptation interventions and monitor efficacy over time
• Robust UN SEEA natural capital quantification for all coastal ecosystems (mangrove, seagrass, coral), identify restoration suitability, and provide standardised MRV
