<h2 class="" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.2;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="45.6px">Vom Satellitenbild zur Umweltintelligenz: 20 Jahre EOMAP</h2>
<p><strong>Im Schloss Seefeld bei München entstehen seit 2006 preisgekrönte Erdbeobachtungs-Lösungen. Diese helfen Behörden und Industrie, die Umwelt ganzheitlich zu verstehen und zu schützen.</strong></p>
<p>Seefeld, Deutschland, im November 2026 &#8211; Seit 20 Jahren entwickelt EOMAP aus Seefeld bei München satellitenbasierte Lösungen, vor allem zu Küsten-, Seen- und Flussgebieten. 2006 gründete der Physiker Dr. Thomas Heege, ehemals Wissenschaftler beim Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), das Unternehmen. Sein Ziel war, Wissenschaft in praktische Lösungen zu überführen. Im Februar 2025 wurde EOMAP Teil des niederländischen Geodaten-Konzerns <a href="https://www.fugro.com/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fugro</a>.</p>
<h3 class="" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Von der Adriaküste bis zum Great Barrier Reef</h3>
<p>Drei Pionierprojekte prägen die Firmengeschichte: 2006 kartierte das damalige Start-up per Satellit erstmals <a href="https://eomap.com/pioneering-seagrass-mapping-at-the-italian-coastline-in-2006/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seegraswiesen vor Brindisi</a> an der italienischen Adria, 2018 entwickelte EOMAP ein weltweites <a href="https://eomap.com/usecases/unesco-ihp-iiwq-world-water-quality-portal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wasserqualitäts-Portal für die UNESCO</a>, und 2019 gelang gemeinsam mit australischen Meeresforschern die weltweit erste flächendeckende <a href="https://eomap.com/usecases/3d-live-habitats-for-the-full-extent-of-the-great-barrier-reef/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3D-Habitatkarte des Great Barrier Reef</a>. Von Innovationskraft zeugen auch die Auszeichnungen, darunter 2023 der Cassini-Preis der EU-Raumfahrtagentur EUSPA für die Plastikmüll-App Eyes on Plastic oder der Bayerische Innovationspreis 2022 für die cloudbasierte Lösung eoapp SDB-Online zur Berechnung von Flachwassertiefen.</p>
<h3 class="" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Team aus zehn Ländern und acht Disziplinen</h3>
<p>Möglich macht diese Pionierleistungen ein fünfzigköpfiges Team aus zehn Ländern, in dem Fachleute aus Physik, Geodatenanalyse, Softwareentwicklung oder Datenvisualisierung Hand in Hand arbeiten. Der Frauenanteil liegt mit 46 Prozent mehr als doppelt so hoch wie im Branchendurchschnitt. Für Thomas Heege steht die Unternehmenskultur an erster Stelle: „<em>Das Wichtigste war von Anfang an der Aufbau unseres Teams. Wir arbeiten interdisziplinär, kooperativ und mit viel Eigenverantwortung. Diese Kultur ist das Fundament, auf dem 20 Jahre Hightech-Entwicklung und echte Marktlösungen stehen</em>.“</p>
<h3 class="" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Aus Daten werden Antworten</h3>
<p>Seine Lösungen entwickelt das EOMAP-Team energisch weiter. Erhielten Kunden früher vor allem Daten, so sind es heute zunehmend Software-Lösungen und Informationspakete inklusive 3D-Visualisierung. „<em>Viele Kunden wollen nicht nur Satellitendaten, sondern belastbare Antworten. Unsere Lösungen, teils mit integrierten Chatbots, bereiten Umweltinformationen mundgerecht auf und fördern so rasche und fundierte Entscheidungen</em>“, erklärt Thomas Heege.</p>
<h3 class="" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Erdbeobachtung im Höhenflug</h3>
<p>2006 war Fernerkundung eine kleine Nische mit gut 150 Unternehmen in Europa. Inzwischen zählt der Branchenverband <a href="https://earsc.org/industry-insights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EARSC</a> mehr als 800 Unternehmen, die satellitenbasierte Dienstleistungen anbieten. Auch die Datenbasis wächst stark: Allein zwischen 2014 und 2023 starteten laut Marktforscher Novaspace rund 2.100 Erdbeobachtungssatelliten.</p>
<p>Aus Terabyte an Daten bildet EOMAP digitale Zwillinge ganzer Küstenabschnitte, Seenregionen und Flusseinzugsgebiete. Dabei sind die Algorithmen sensorunabhängig und verarbeiten Daten öffentlicher Missionen wie Copernicus ebenso wie private, etwa von Planet oder Vantor. „<em>Für jede Frage suchen wir die passendsten Sensoren aus, ob öffentlich oder privat. Das macht uns unabhängig und liefert bestmögliche Ergebnisse für unsere Kunden</em>“, sagt Heege.</p>
<h3 class="" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Pionierarbeit in der Praxis</h3>
<p>In zwei Bereichen gilt EOMAP weltweit als Pionier:</p>
<p><a href="https://eomap.com/services/bathymetry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bathymetrie</a>. Die satellitengestützte Vermessung der Wassertiefe aus dem All hat EOMAP maßgeblich mitentwickelt. „<em>Wo Untiefen Schiffen gefährlich werden und andere Messverfahren teuer oder riskant sind, liefern Satelliten zuverlässige Daten</em>“, erklärt Dr. Knut Hartmann, kommerzieller Direktor. 2015 druckte der britische Hydrographische Dienst (UKHO) erstmals EOMAP-Daten in eine Seekarte, inzwischen stützen sich rund 50 Seekarten weltweit darauf. Ingenieurbüros nutzen die Bathymetrie- und Seegrundkarten außerdem, um Seekabel sicher und umweltschonend zu verlegen.</p>
<p><a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wasserqualität</a>. Physikalisch basierte Verfahren errechnen aus Satellitenbildern Algenkonzentrationen, Oberflächentemperatur oder Sichttiefe. Beim Fischsterben in der Oder 2022 konnte EOMAP so den Verlauf der Goldalgenblüte zeitlich und örtlich eingrenzen. Wer die App <a href="https://aqua.eoapp.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eoapp AQUA</a> öffnet, sieht das Wichtigste auf einen Blick, die komplexen Analysen laufen im Hintergrund: „<em>Dank eoapp AQUA behalten Umweltbehörden in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern oder Baden-Württemberg ihre Seen und Küstengewässer schnell und tagesaktuell im Blick</em>“, erklärt Karin Schenk, Bereichsleiterin Wasserqualität.</p>
<p>Die Lösungen informieren auch über Küstenveränderungen und natürliche CO2-Speicher wie Seegraswiesen oder Mangrovenwälder und zeigen auf, wo diese künftig am besten vor Erosion und Überflutung schützen. Erst 2025 kartierte das Team mit Fugro Seegras entlang der rund 8.000 Kilometer langen Küste Italiens, die der <a href="https://eomap.com/usecases/seagrass-mapping-in-italy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Umweltbehörde ISPRA gezielten Naturschutz</a> ermöglichen.</p>
<h3 class="" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.1;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="41.8px">Ausblick: Umweltfolgen besser abschätzen</h3>
<p>Künftig will EOMAP verstärkt satellitenbasierte Vorhersagen liefern: „<em>Wir wollen unsere Fähigkeiten in der Umweltfolgenabschätzung und bei Prognosen weiter ausbauen. Organisationen sollen Umweltveränderungen nicht nur im Nachhinein beobachten, sondern besser verstehen und vorhersehen können</em>“, sagt Heege.</p>
<h4 class="" style="--fontsize: 30; line-height: 1.2;" data-fontsize="30" data-lineheight="36px">Über EOMAP</h4>
<p>EOMAP, ein Fugro-Unternehmen, nutzt Satelliten, um ein besseres Verständnis der Umwelt und ihrer Veränderungen zu schaffen. Das Team beliefert Behörden und Industrie weltweit, die Wasser bewirtschaften, Infrastruktur planen, Blue Carbon bewerten oder sicher navigieren wollen. Die preisgekrönten Web-Apps der eoapp™-Reihe liefern die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse in wenigen Mausklicks. In den Bereichen satellitenbasierte Wasserqualität und Flachwasser-Bathymetrie ist EOMAP-Technologie weltweit führend. Das 50-köpfige Team fühlt sich den UN-SDGs und Klimazielen verpflichtet und möchte zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung unseres Planeten beitragen.</p>

<p>Turbid waters can have negative impact on the results of LiDAR mapping campaigns. Thus, knowing about water clarity in advance of mapping campaigns is a clear information advantage: The new service powered by EOMAP&#8217;s water quality team empowers YellowScan Access clients better time successful campaigns. The new tool builds on historical water quality data and trends.</p>

<p><em>“Well in advance of mobilisation, EOMAP’s satellite-derived data informs customers about the expected water clarity at a survey site throughout the year. They can therefore plan their LiDAR campaign for the time with the best expected conditions. Making this tool available through YellowScan Access helps customers to plan and conduct their surveys successfully.”</em> explains Philipp Bauer, Product Owner of eoapp<sup>TM</sup> AQUALITE at EOMAP.</p>

Tourismusregionen können neuerdings die <a href="https://eomap.com/badegewaesser-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wasserqualität</a> je Badestelle tagesaktuell per Satellit sehen. Somit können sie besser und proaktiv kommunizieren.</p>
<h2>Badewasser-Status für Ihre Region</h2>
<p>Ob Familienurlaub, Wassersport oder Erfrischungsstopp auf der Radtour: Für viele Gäste entscheidet die Wasserqualität mit über die Urlaubswahl. Umso schwerer wiegt es, wenn eine Algenblüte überraschend auftritt. Blaualgen können sich binnen weniger Tage bilden, die nächste Beprobung folgt dagegen oft Wochen später. Ein einziges Foto in den sozialen Medien kann aus einem kurzen Ereignis ein Imagethema machen.</p>
<h2>eoapp ALGIQ informiert Tourismusregionen tagesaktuell</h2>
<p>Die Web-Anwendung wertet Satellitendaten aus und verdichtet Sichttiefe, Chlorophyll, Cyanobakterien-Signal und Wassertemperatur zu einem vierstufigen, ampelartigen Algenrisiko-Indikator. Dabei orientiert sich die Skala an einer Empfehlung des Umweltbundesamts. Zudem ist sie ohne Fachwissen verständlich. Dazu kommt die aktuelle Wassertemperatur, eine der meistgestellten Gästefragen überhaupt.</p>
<h2>Die Vorteile für Ihre Destination</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Wettbewerbsvorteil: </strong>Nachweislich gute Wasserqualität wird zum Verkaufsargument für Hotels, Wassersportanbieter und die ganze Region.</li>
<li><strong>Fertiger Content-Baustein: </strong>Tagesaktuelle Infos für Gästezeitung, Website und App, ohne Mehraufwand für Ihr Team.</li>
<li><strong>Vertrauen und Reputationsschutz: </strong>Sachlich und frühzeitig informieren, bevor Gäste oder Presse es tun. Das schützt auch Kinder und Hunde.</li>
</ol>
<p>eoapp ALGIQ ergänzt die amtliche Beprobung. Die neue Web-Anwendung schließt die Lücken zwischen den Probeterminen und zeigt viele Badestellen gleichzeitig, auch solche ohne bisherige Überwachung.</p>

<p>Binnen weniger Tage können Cyanobakterien sich explosionsartig entwickeln und ebenso schnell wieder verschwinden. Zwar bleibt die amtliche Beprobung  dafür unverzichtbar. Sie liefert aber naturgemäß Momentaufnahmen an einzelnen Stellen. So bleibt oft unsichtbar, was zwischen zwei Probeterminen passiert.</p>
<h2>Algenrisiko-Indikator für jede Badestelle &#8211; tagesaktuell</h2>
<p>Genau diese Lücke schließt eoapp ALGIQ. Die Web-Anwendung wertet Satellitendaten zur Früherkennung eines Algenrisikos aus. Dazu verdichtet sie Sichttiefe, Chlorophyll, Cyanobakterien-Signal und Wassertemperatur zu einem vierstufigen Algenrisiko-Indikator je Badestelle. Diese Skala folgt der Bewertungsempfehlung des Umweltbundesamts und ist ohne Fernerkundungs-Vorwissen lesbar, ähnlich einer Ampel.</p>
<h2>Die Vorteile für Behörden</h2>
<ol>
<li>Überblick: alle Badestellen und Gewässerabschnitte gleichzeitig im Blick, auch bei Dutzenden Standorten</li>
<li>Zeitgewinn: Ergebnisse in Stunden statt erst mit der nächsten Probenahme</li>
<li>Ergänzung statt Ersatz: die amtliche Untersuchung bleibt bestehen, ALGIQ schließt die Lücken dazwischen</li>
</ol>
<p>Die Daten sind auch für die Kommunikation nach außen nützlich: Ein tagesaktueller Badewasser-Status schafft Transparenz gegenüber Badegästen, Presse und Tourismuspartnern.</p>

<p>Water pollution threatens human health, food supply, and economies. What&#8217;s more, global warming and increased consumption intensify the water stress. Yet,  many regions still lack the monitoring to catch <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">water quality </a>problems early.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where UNESCO&#8217;s International Initiative on Water Quality (IIWQ) came in. The goal: building capacity and knowledge-sharing on water quality.</p>
<p>In January 2018, at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, EOMAP launched the IIWQ World Water Quality Portal. It was the world&#8217;s first global water quality portal built entirely on satellite data. Alongside it ran the exhibition &#8220;Satellite-based Water Quality Monitoring&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Dr. Thomas Heege, General Director of EOMAP – a Fugro Company, on why this mattered: &#8220;Remote sensing is an efficient and cost-effective tool to assess a variety of physical and biological parameters in aquatic ecosystems over small-scaled and large areas.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The portal provided information on turbidity, chlorophyll-a, suspended matter, and an indicator of harmful algae blooms for any water body worldwide. In addition, it included near real-time updates and historic time series reaching back up to 30 years, which was highly innovative at the time.</p>

Mit eoapp DIVE können Tauchende diese Werte – basierend auf Satellitendaten &#8211; für ausgewählte Tauchspots schon vor dem Sprung ins Wasser abrufen. EOMAP hat diese Web-Applikation im Rahmen des ESA-Projekts „Bluerism&#8221; entwickelt. Darin untersuchen wir die Nutzbarkeit <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">satellitengestützter Daten zur Wasserqualität</a> für den Tauchsport.</p>
<h2>Warum Wasserqualität für Taucher zählt</h2>
<p>Klares Wasser mit guter Sicht macht nicht nur die Unterwasserwelt erlebbar, sondern erhöht auch die Sicherheit während des Tauchgangs. Die Sichttiefe wird dabei von mehreren Faktoren beeinflusst: Sedimentation, Wasserverschmutzung sowie Algen und Wasserpflanzen. Besonders im Fokus stehen dabei <a href="https://eomap.com/badegewaesser-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potenziell schädliche Algenblüten</a>, sogenannte Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs), die immer wieder für Schlagzeilen und Badeverbote sorgen.</p>
<h2>Wie Satellitendaten helfen</h2>
<p>Seit 2006 werten wir bei EOMAP Satellitenbilder aus, um Umweltdaten zu Binnen- und Küstengewässern zu gewinnen. Anders als punktuelle Vor-Ort-Messungen liefern Satellitendaten flächendeckende Informationen über längere Zeiträume – bei guter Datenlage nahezu in Echtzeit. Mit zunehmender Auflösung und Verfügbarkeit von Satellitenaufnahmen wächst auch die Genauigkeit dieser Daten stetig.</p>
<p>Gerade weil sich Gewässer-Ökosysteme durch die globale Erwärmung zunehmend verändern und Algenblüten häufiger auftreten, gewinnen solche Informationen an Bedeutung – auch für den Tourismus.</p>
<h2>Wie die App Tauchgänge optimieren hilft</h2>
<p>In eoapp DIVE fließen Werte zu Algenkonzentration, Trübung, Sichttiefe und Oberflächentemperatur ein, ergänzt durch Informationen zu potenziell toxischen Algen sowie meteorologische Daten zu Tiden, Wellen und Wetter. Damit lassen sich Tauchspots direkt vergleichen: Wo ist die Sicht am besten? Wo ist die Algenbelastung am geringsten? Wo sind die Wellen niedriger?</p>
<p>So können Tauchsportler:innen den passenden Tauchtag gezielt auswählen und ihr Taucherlebnis optimieren.</p>
<h2>Testphase bis Ende November</h2>
<p>Aktuell läuft die kostenlose Testphase für die Flensburger Förde, den Kleinen Belt und den Banter See. Weitere Tauchgebiete können auf Wunsch aufgenommen werden – eine <a href="mailto:wq@eomap.de">kurze E-Mail </a>an das Bluerism-Team von EOMAP genügt.</p>
<p>Wer die eoapp DIVE nutzt, erleichtert nicht nur die eigene Tauchplanung, sondern unterstützt über die integrierte Feedback-Funktion auch die Weiterentwicklung des Tools – und liefert wertvolle Praxisdaten für das Monitoring von Algenblüten und Wasserqualität. Diese Daten werden im <a href="https://bluerism.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Projekt Bluerism</a> ausgewertet.</p>
<p>Bis Ende November können Taucherinnen und Taucher sich kostenlos registrieren unter: <a href="https://dive.eoapp.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dive.eoapp.de</a></p>

<p>In 2007, Woodside energy required a reliable water quality monitoring approach to meet environmental regulations. The area in Northwest Australia covered around 1.000 square kilometers of coastal waters. EOMAP used physics-based algorithms to create turbidity maps from satellite data, delivering results on average every two days over more than two years.</p>
<p>The goal of the project was to establish a reliable, regular large-scale turbidity monitoring system for pipeline related dredging operations.</p>
<p>A key objective was to track and quantify dredge plumes consistently over time and monitor their proximity to environmental sensitive areas. Traditional methods, such as in situ, only provided point-based measurements. Airborne monitoring would have resulted in substantially increased costs.</p>

<ul>
<li>More than 430 satellite-derived water quality data sets were delivered. They covered an area of 1.000 square kilometers over a period of approximately two years.</li>
<li>The main spatial resolution was delivered at 250 meters, but various other data sets with up to 3m spatial resolution were utilized for independent verification and monitoring of two records a day.</li>
<li>Continuous mapping enabled accurate tracking of turbidity patterns to support environmental monitoring and decision-making at a high frequency interval.</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;With the professional support from EOMAP and a fast-tracked delivery of daily satellite products the governmental monitoring obligations could be fulfilled and created a first in Australia for such operational use in the Oil &amp; Gas industry.&#8221; says Dr. Peter Hausknecht, former chairman of the <a tabindex="0" href="https://www.iogp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-test-app-aware-link="">IOGP</a> Earth Observation subcommittee and SME for remote sensing at <a tabindex="0" href="https://www.woodside.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-test-app-aware-link="">Woodside Energy</a> at the time.</p>
<p>With that, the project proved that large-scale, non-invasive monitoring can be both reliable and cost-effective.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2026, EOMAP became a new member of the <a href="https://www.fao.org/mountain-partnership/home/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mountain Partnership</a>. This United Nations alliance of members is committed to enhancing the livelihoods of mountain communities and safeguarding mountain ecosystems worldwide. Together, the Governments of Italy and Switzerland, alongside the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), launched the initiative in 2002.</p>
<p>Supporting the Mountain Partnership&#8217;s goal, we have studied water quality trends at a tourism hotspot. In 2025, we took a closer look at Black Lake in Montenegro.</p>
<h2>Assessing tourism impacts on lake water quality</h2>
<p>In the case study, we investigated Crno Jezero (Black Lake) in Montenegro. Our focus was the relationship between tourism intensity and <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">water quality</a>. in order to provide actionable insights, we integrated visitor statistics with satellite-derived Earth Observation (EO) data.</p>
<p>Annual visitor records (2021–2025) were combined with water quality indicators, such as chlorophyll a (CHL), turbidity (TUR), and total suspended matter (TSM). For this, we extrapolated seasonal visitor patterns from 2025 data. This enabled consistent monthly and quarterly comparisons across the study period. Results show a clear summer tourism peak. However, we could not identify a consistent correlation between visitor numbers and water quality. Both short-term (monthly) and seasonal (quarterly) analyses indicate that fluctuations in CHL, TUR, and TSM are not systematically linked to tourism intensity.</p>
<h2>A short anomaly in water quality in 2024</h2>
<p>A distinct anomaly in October 2024, marked by elevated water quality indicators despite low visitor numbers, was attributed to heavy rainfall and runoff. This emphasizes the dominant role of natural hydrological processes. Long-term EO-based analysis (2017–2025) further confirms stable baseline conditions, with no significant trends in key water quality indicators.</p>
<p>All these findings highlight the importance of water management and ecosystem-based approaches in understanding lake dynamics. They also support strategies for ecosystem management, restoration, and disaster risk reduction. This is particularly relevant in the context of climate change, where experts expect increasing hydrological variability to impact freshwater systems more strongly.</p>

<h2>A promising way forward</h2>
<p>In order to further refine insights, the data should incorporate higher-resolution visitor data and insitu measurements. For tracking the impact of tourism on the water quality of Crno Jezero, near real-time monitoring combined with actual visitor numbers could be a promising way forward.</p>
<h2>Assessing environmental and socio-economic stressors</h2>
<p>The study is part of the <a href="https://www.fao.org/mountain-partnership/projects/sustainable-management-mountain-natural-resources/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">project “Sustainable management of natural resources in mountain areas”,</a> supported by the Italian government. It contributes to the Programme of Work of FAO’s Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS) and covers further studies in Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan. Its primary aim is to improve the livelihoods of rural mountain communities through sustainable management of natural resources. This involves strengthening the technical capacities of key stakeholders in assessing environmental and socio-economic stressors.</p>

The initiative launched at the Lake Como race on 24 and 25 April 2026. Altogether, it marks a new step in applying Earth Observation science to water sports events.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&#8220;High-resolution satellite data can tell a lot about water quality. Through the insights we create, we wish to help Westbrook Racing better understand and manage the ecological footprint of the races. Together, we will demonstrate how Earth Observation can guide the responsible development of water-based events,&#8221; stated Dr. Eva Maria Haas, Head of Strategic Accounts Europe at EOMAP.</p>

<h2 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.2;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="45.6px">Science‑based water quality monitoring across race venues</h2>
<p>At the heart of the collaboration is EOMAP’s advanced <a href="https://eomap.com/services/water-quality/">water quality monitoring</a>. Using satellite data, the programme introduces a non‑intrusive, science‑driven approach to understanding how race activity interacts with local aquatic ecosystems.</p>
<p>Drawing on imagery from ESA’s <a href="https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/data-collections/copernicus-sentinel-missions/sentinel-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Copernicus Sentinel‑2</a> mission and Planet SuperDove satellites, EOMAP will deliver high‑resolution, near real‑time insights into environmental conditions before, during, and after race events.</p>

<h2 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="--fontsize: 38; line-height: 1.2;" data-fontsize="38" data-lineheight="45.6px">Turbidity analysis to understand sediment disturbance</h2>
<p>A key focus of the monitoring framework is water turbidity. For instance, EOMAP’s analysis will help identify sediment disturbance patterns that may be linked to race operations or external environmental factors. As a result, this supports a more informed assessment of environmental impact at each venue.</p>
<p>This data will provide valuable context for race planning, ultimately helping the team manage activities responsibly in sensitive water environments.</p>
