Marine ecosystems are declining faster than terrestrial ones. Thousands of research projects generate biodiversity data that never gets connected. NEREUS aggregates it, monitors protected areas, and gives conservation organizations the unified picture they've never had.
The ocean covers 71% of the planet's surface and hosts more biodiversity than all terrestrial ecosystems combined. It's also declining faster. Marine species populations have dropped by an average of 49% since 1970. Coral reef coverage has halved in the last 50 years. Over one-third of shark and ray species face extinction. The monitoring data to track these declines exists, scattered across thousands of research institutions, conservation organizations, and government agencies that were never designed to share it.
Marine protected areas now cover roughly 8% of the ocean, but enforcement and monitoring are inconsistent. Illegal fishing, unauthorized vessel traffic, and pollution violations in protected waters often go undetected because compliance monitoring requires correlating satellite imagery, vessel tracking data, and on-the-ground observation that live in separate systems. Research institutions conducting biodiversity surveys publish findings in journals that other organizations doing similar work in adjacent waters may never see.
NEREUS unifies marine biodiversity data, monitors protected area compliance, and tracks ecosystem health indicators across the world's oceans. It connects research institutions with conservation organizations and policy bodies, giving everyone working to protect marine life access to the same comprehensive picture. The marine science stays with the marine scientists. NEREUS provides the coordination infrastructure they've needed for decades.
Six core functions covering the full marine ecosystem intelligence stack, from biodiversity data aggregation to policy coordination.
Unifies marine species data from OBIS, IUCN Red List, and research institutions worldwide into a continuously updated global biodiversity map.
Monitors marine protected areas using satellite imagery and vessel tracking data to detect unauthorized fishing, traffic violations, and pollution events.
Processes ocean temperature, salinity, pH, and chlorophyll data from underwater sensors to generate ecosystem health indicators by region.
Generates biodiversity trend reports by region and species group, tracking population changes, habitat shifts, and emerging threats over time.
Maps marine research activities globally, identifies overlapping studies, and connects institutions working in adjacent waters for data sharing.
Integrates underwater acoustic monitoring data for whale and dolphin population tracking, ship noise analysis, and marine soundscape health assessment.
Where NEREUS stands today and where it's heading next.
The scope of what NEREUS monitors and the data it connects.
Three steps from download to running operations. No build process, no dependencies.
Grab the NEREUS operator files from GitHub. Drop them into your Claude workspace at operators/nereus/. No build process, no dependencies.
Set your marine region focus and species monitoring priorities. Connect local sensor feeds if available. Copy the config template and customize alert thresholds.
Start a conversation. NEREUS runs its orientation check, connects to biodiversity databases and vessel tracking, and begins monitoring. Ecosystem health, compliance, reporting.
Download NEREUS. Deploy it for your research institution or conservation organization. Every species record, every compliance algorithm, benefits every deployment worldwide.
