Turning Ocean Data Intelligence into Health Protection
Why Poseidon?
Toxins are increasing across ecosystems and the food chain due in part to the plastic pollution in our oceans and waterways. Concern has risen that this plastic has entered fish
and other sea life, which then lead to potentially dangerous levels of bioaccumulated toxins in humans who consume that food supply.
While not yet conclusive, research suggests this bioaccumulation of plastics, microplastics, and their associated toxins harms human health. To help address this concern,
HSR.health developed a Poseidon Plastic Tracking System to identify the presence and quantity of plastics in our oceans where populations at-risk from such exposure - short and long
term - live.
Poseidon Plastic Tracking System: Protecting Oceans, Safeguarding Lives
Poseidon orchestrates diverse data and technology including geospatial visualization, AI/ML analytics, satellite imagery, and advanced simulations
to forecast the impacts of plastic contamination and guide interventions that protect both the environment and public health.
No Treaty? What's Next?
UNEP's recent missed opportunity to deliver a binding plastics treaty at INC 5.2 highlights the need for faster, people-driven solutions.

Poseidon introduces Health Risk Credits
- Awarded when plastic contamination hotspots are identified in areas where 1,000+ people face elevated risk
- Transforms credits into more than offsets, becoming a health protection mechanism
Global Reach
Poseidon now covers oceans touching 6 billion lives-and we're expanding further.
