Specialist Earth Observation
Turn satellite and field data into evidence you can act on and defend
Marmoris helps conservation programmes, governments, and funders understand what is happening to their ecosystems in near real time, and build a monitoring record that holds up when reporting, restoration decisions, or financing cases need to be made.
Restoration is hard to prove. A planted reef or a recovering seagrass meadow changes slowly, unevenly, and often out of sight. Marmoris brings a continuous, wide area view that ground surveys alone cannot, so the difference your work makes becomes visible and reportable.
Built on evidence
Monitoring designed to be defended, not just collected
Our methodology is developed with ITC and the University of Twente, the University of Bologna, and Wageningen University, and grounded in the BACI framework, a before and after, control and impact design that gives a result something to be measured against.
For conservation programmes, DORY is the proof mechanism. It brings near real time water quality indicators and habitat layers together in one place, so the change you are reporting is something a funder can see, not just a number in a spreadsheet.
What we do
From monitoring to defensible evidence
Prove the restoration actually worked
BACI based restoration monitoring that compares your site against a control over time, so improvement is attributable, not just hoped for.
Catch ecological stress before it is a crisis
Continuous water quality and chlorophyll tracking flags change early, while there is still a decision to make rather than a loss to report.
Get a real warning window, not a surprise
Early warning for harmful algal blooms and coral bleaching conditions, so response plans start before the damage is done.
Put a number on what sargassum is costing
Nearshore sargassum monitoring and quantification. Methodology in development. We are building the approach to quantify nearshore sargassum, and will describe it specifically once it is validated.
In the field · Bonaire
A masterclass with the people who manage the reef
In April 2026 Marmoris ran a masterclass in Bonaire, working with the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, STINAPA, Tourism Corporation Bonaire, and the Bonaire local government. The focus was practical: how satellite observation can support the people already responsible for protecting these waters.
This is the kind of work Marmoris is built for. Specialist, hands on, and grounded in a real place rather than a generic platform pitch.
Our platform
DORY, your reef and water in one view
DORY is a monitoring platform built during our ESA BIC incubation. It brings near real time water quality indicators together with reef and seagrass location and dive centre layers, so the state of a site is something you can look at rather than reconstruct.
DORY is currently offline, as its backend hosting was discontinued, but it remains fully demoable from a local installation. We can walk you through it directly.

How it works
From first call to a record you can report on
Scoping call
We learn your site, your funder, and what you need to prove to keep the programme funded.
Baseline and control
We set up a BACI design so change at your site can be measured against a comparable control.
Continuous monitoring
Indicators and habitat layers update over time, viewable together through DORY.
Reporting
You receive evidence shaped for a funder or regulator, not raw data you have to interpret.
