By fusing our existing ground-truth sensor network with ESA\u2019s satellite data, we are creating something revolutionary: measuring water table depth and soil moisture directly from space. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No expensive hardware on every site. No manual data collection. Just highly accurate, continuous high-resolution predictions\u2014accessible from anywhere in the world.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Changes Everything for Wetlands<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, up to 80% of the preparation costs for a restoration project are swallowed by manual monitoring and bureaucratic feasibility studies. By automating this process from space, we are slashing those costs. Every euro we save on manual monitoring is a euro that goes directly into the physical restoration of the land.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, with landmark regulations like the EU Nature Restoration Law and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), municipalities and companies are desperately searching for verifiable, audit-ready environmental data. We are giving them the tool to finally make their wetland impact transparent and scalable. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Next Era of Our Mission<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are still the same crew. We still love getting our hands dirty, and we will never stop doing the hard physical work on the ground. But protecting a global ecosystem requires a global technology.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ESA\u2019s backing is the ultimate proof of concept for our vision. It transforms Mission to Marsh from a passionate grassroots initiative into a tech-enabled conservation enterprise. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s bring the water back. On Earth. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Your Mission to Marsh Crew<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are officially taking our vision into orbit: Together with the European Space Agency (ESA) we are developing our satellite-enhanced wetland monitoring service, Life on Marsh, through its Business Applications and Space Solutions Kick-start initiative.
