Turning ocean data into actionable insight

Healthy oceans begin with understanding. CCell Sense brings reef power and environmental data together, so you can see what is happening below the surface.

It controls mineral accretion and connects to plug-and-play sensors for water conditions, with remote alerts and reporting. Sensors are selected for each site.

CCell Sense in practice

Powering a living reef at Royal Resorts

At Royal Resorts in Cancun, CCell Sense powered a reef from the pier's existing electricity supply. Within six months, a bare steel frame had become a living reef.

Our electronics controlled the mineral growth. Dive surveys and photographs recorded the rock and marine life as they developed.
