Tēnaka’s coral reef restoration helps protect and preserve
critically important and endangered wildlife while supporting the
economic independence of coastal communities in terms of food
security and employment linked to tourism and fisheries.
Through this partnership, Orange Business is accelerating
Tēnaka’s digital transformation, making its day-to-day operations
more efficient. Orange Business provides access to fully automated
data sets, from collection to visualization, leveraging AI-based
data analysis.
This near real-time data-driven approach enhances the
capabilities of Tēnaka’s operations. Data and images are delivered
directly to scientists ashore, which means researchers will be able
to access 24/7 data and spend more time restoring degrading coral
reefs.
Scientific monitoring of the coral reef
The project orchestrated by Orange Business is enabled by a
Yucca lab marine research station composed of an underwater
monitoring device with waterproof 360° cameras attached to a
solar-powered floating buoy with processing and transmission
capabilities.
The research station connects to the local 4G mobile network
with an Orange Business SIM card. This connection transfers images
daily to a Microsoft Azure tenant managed by Orange Business. The
data transfer is secured by Orange Cyberdefense using Netskope SSE
technology and NewEdge infrastructure.
Once in the cloud, an AI algorithm developed by Orange Business
analyzes the images. This algorithm automatically recognizes and
quantifies various species of fish, invertebrates, and megafauna in
the reefs.
Orange Business leverages its partner ecosystem in this project:
Netskope’s For Good program is providing the security platform and
design, while Microsoft provides free of charge Azure credits as
part of its Startups Founders Hub program.
“Regenerating the ocean is the best solution we have to mitigate
the climate and biodiversity crisis. By leveraging technology,
Orange Business brings critical expertise for us to scale our
operations and reach a global impact,” explained Anne-Sophie Roux,
Founder of Tēnaka.
“We wanted to be part of the solution for an environmental
challenge. Our employees worldwide support Tēnaka for its inspiring
initiative in preserving and rehabilitating coral ecosystems – and
one where our technology and digital services can really make a
difference to create a positive impact,” commented Kristof Symons,
CEO International, Orange Business.
