By incorporating traditional methods of harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring and bolstering them with innovative solutions, BloomOptix allows customers to understand their waterbodies through a suite of analyses of various data sources. While traditional methods fall short in terms of coarse spatial and temporal resolution, the implementation of BloomOptix unmanned aerial system (UAS) monitoring approach can enhance data acquisition and improve HAB monitoring abilities in targeted areas. In concert with UAS deployment, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) allow for real-time water quality analysis that can be correlated to remote sensing data. Finally, the use of HABAlert, an AI-powered microscopy tool, enables customers with little-to-no-training monitor their waterways for HAB-causing cyanobacteria, producing timely and actionable data in as little as 10 minutes.
