Our Story
Aarkoss started in a laboratory, culturing microalgae in flasks and wondering what would happen if biology could be engineered to fight climate change at industrial scale. That question led to the Clima Tree photobioreactor, a machine that turns CO2 into biomass using the same photosynthetic process that has powered marine ecosystems for three billion years.
But the ocean taught us something the lab could not: that carbon capture means nothing if the marine environment is degrading. As we deployed Clima Tree at coastal industrial sites, we saw firsthand the pressure on Gulf marine habitats -- receding coral, stressed seagrass meadows, coastlines stripped of mangrove cover. The technology worked, but the ecosystem it operated within needed help.
So we expanded. Artificial reef construction to rebuild marine habitats destroyed by development and warming. Marine ecology surveys to understand what we were protecting. Mangrove and seagrass restoration on a scale that makes a measurable difference -- 19 million mangroves and counting. Marine brokerage to serve the growing fleet of operators working in Gulf waters.
Aarkoss started as a services firm, supporting Aarksee Group in its climate activities, particularly on the marine side. Today we partner with Aarksee Group in creating new markets for climate services. We capture carbon, construct reefs, restore coastlines, broker marine assets, and monitor everything with satellite and subsea sensor networks. The ocean is our operating environment, and we are building the infrastructure the blue economy demands.
