Our mission

We co-create technologies that recognize knowledge as plural. Our method is our mission: co-creating by design, debiasing by default, scaling with care.

What is
Benthos?

Benthos refers to the organisms that live at the bottom of lakes, rivers and ocean - like corals and mollusks - forming the foundation of marine life. Our name is inspired by their role in ecosystems and by the experience of someone from an underrepresented community impacted by environmental injustices. Just as benthic life sustains entire marine ecosystems, we believe in building conservation from the ground up, using technology as a catalyst to amplify the recognition of diverse knowledge systems.

Our grassroots series

We're producing video series that invite you to meet the people leading conservation projects and hear their stories, told in the first person.
