Changing how the world looks at water
GYBE PROVIDES WATER QUALITY INFORMATION THAT'S SCALABLE
Freshwater basins, lakes, rivers, estuaries and coastal areas are under increasing pressure due to human activity and the changing climate. In order to take action that is impactful, timely and cost-effective, we need information. Gybe uses satellite imagery and proprietary ground-based hardware to transform the management, conservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems.
Our products answer some of the difficult questions about nutrient and sediment pollution, the onset and severity of harmful algal blooms (HABs), and interactions with land-use, private sector activity and meteorology. Gybe uses analytics and measurement technology that is scalable, accurate and available continuously.
