We are passionate about the planet

OceanLabs Seychelles is a regional leader in developing innovative technology solutions, particularly for the challenging environments of marine and environmental research. We understand the critical role that precise environmental data plays in advancing our understanding of the world's oceans. Our devices provide in-situ data to coastal communities, organizations, and individuals, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding small-scale fishing grounds, climate change, and the impacts of human activities on the marine environment. At OceanLabs Seychelles, our commitment to the environment is at the core of everything we do. We believe that caring for our planet is not just a responsibility, but a necessity for a sustainable future.

Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to safeguard the planet's natural heritage using technology, promoting a sustainable future by empowering conservation and research institutions, as well as local communities. We strive to provide innovative solutions in conservation engineering using appropriate technology, ensuring a healthy environment for all life on earth.

Our Journey

Our story begins in the heart of a small group of islands, the Seychelles. Founded in 2022 by Daniel Hugelmann and Brett Smith, two passionate engineers and ocean lovers, our organisation was born from the dream of protecting the marine environment with appropriate high technology. As we gained support and recognition, our efforts expanded beyond the marine environment to address broader challenges. By partnering with other organizations and engaging with international networks, we are now tackling issues like disaster monitoring, endangered species protection, and sustainable agriculture.
