Innovation Lab
Building the Future of Water Conservation
We bring together universities, engineers, scientists, AI developers, conservation organizations, companies, and volunteers to invent the next generation of conservation technology. Every project begins with a real environmental problem and ends with a practical solution that can be tested and deployed in the field.
Ghost Trap Technology Initiative
Sure Buoys, AI detection, ROVs, drones, sonar & smart recovery tools — all working toward one goal: ending ghost fishing in Florida waters.
Innovation Challenges
Explore the biggest conservation problems we are working to solve.
Active Research Projects
See the technology being built right now — from ROVs to AI detection.
Ask Percy Innovation Assistant
Percy becomes your Innovation Coach — brainstorm, prototype, and plan.
Idea Exchange
Submit ideas, upload sketches, vote, comment, and build teams.
Real Problems. Real Solutions. In the Field.
The Innovation Lab is where conservation meets engineering. From ghost trap recovery robotics to AI-powered wildlife detection and digital twin simulations of the Indian River Lagoon — we turn environmental challenges into deployable technology.
