Cerulean empowers ocean pollution watchdogs with orbital observation

SkyTruth introduces Cerulean, an orbital monitoring platform, to combat ocean pollution by tracking ships and oil slicks with high precision and frequency.

With over 20 years of experience, SkyTruth aims to revolutionize environmental monitoring by leveraging satellite imagery and advanced analytics through Cerulean.

Cerulean utilizes synthetic aperture radar data to differentiate between oil slicks and natural occurrences, helping identify and track polluters in real-time.

The platform offers an easy-to-use interface for users to analyze satellite data and identify suspicious activities, such as oil spills, with just a few clicks.

SkyTruth's recent study revealed discrepancies in reported oil slicks, indicating the need for improved monitoring tools like Cerulean to provide accurate data for advocacy and legal action.

Case studies highlight Cerulean's impact, including monitoring deep-water drilling, quantifying oil spills in Indonesia, and advocating for environmental protection measures in the UK.

Cerulean is constantly evolving, with plans to enhance its machine learning models, provide user alerts for new slicks, and collaborate with more organizations and individuals to address ocean pollution effectively.
