iX Challenge - Preserve Celtic Sea FLOW biodiversity via prediction of marine conditions

For the Love of the Sea wants an innovative monitoring system for their sea farm. The system should track wind, tide and current data to predict when conditions might damage the farm. This helps them take action early to reduce losses. The challenge focuses on the Celtic Sea FLOW ecosystem. This area is important for offshore renewable energy and protecting local sea life. You need to create a multi-layered monitoring solution. The deadline is 7 April 2026. No funding amount is specified.

This challenge is for technology companies and innovators who can develop marine monitoring systems. You should have experience with data analysis, sensors, or marine technology. It is not suitable for businesses without technical expertise in these areas.

For the Love of the Sea are seeking an innovative solution which can provide a multi layered monitoring system for their sea farm. By analysing data from wind, tide and currents; the system will help to identify conditions that lead to damage and support timely action to reduce losses. This capability is particularly valuable within the Celtic Sea FLOW ecosystem, where understanding local marine conditions underpins offshore renewable energy activity and supports regional biodiversity.
