Technology is not panacea, but carefully designed conservation technology programs can help fill the gap between the discovery of emerging problems and the will to solve them at a policy level. At Blackbeard Biologic, we focus on conservation technology that democratizes the collection of scientific data and puts the tools of research and conservation directly into the hands of those most immediately impacted by both local and global changes. We specialize in developing novel approaches to data collection as well as stakeholder training in a value-agnostic, stakeholder-up model of technology implementation. This means that rather than taking a top-down approach to implementing technological fixes to the problems facing our oceans, we work with communities to develop solutions that reflect and respect their needs and values. <\/p>\n
