In this podcast episode, I welcome Damien Demoor, a French engineer and ocean innovator based in France, who introduces his company, Greenov, and its groundbreaking product, the Subsea Quieter.
Demoor discusses the significant threat of underwater noise pollution caused by maritime activities, detailing its detrimental effects on marine life, including mammals, fish, and ecosystems.
He explains how their solution, developed in partnership with a leader in naval defense, leverages novel membrane technology to mitigate noise effectively.
Demoor also shares his personal journey, motivations, and achievements, including winning the Sustainable Ocean Alliance Pitch Contest.
He elaborates on future steps for the product, potential demonstrations, and the broader impact of regulatory measures on noise pollution in the oceans.
