Deep Sea Genomics
Live solutions for pollution disasters
We design extremophilic biological consortia to degrade the world's most aggressive industrial pollution in both marine and terrestrial environments.
A proprietary catalog of bacteria with unique bioremediation capabilities
Deep Sea Genomic has an extensive proprietary catalog of bacteria and consortia capable not only of degrading hydrocarbons, but of eliminating heavy metals, plastics, and other pollutants in soil, fresh water, and seawater. We have the ability to generate the appropriate consortia to bioremediate specific contaminants, because we have the exact genetic, molecular, and metabolic information of our bacteria.

Sustainable Development Goals
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015. Deep Sea Genomics directly contributes to the following SDGs through its bioremediation solutions.
By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution.
Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels.
Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity, and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries.
By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally.
By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes.
Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending.
Support domestic technology development, research and innovation in developing countries, including by ensuring a conducive policy environment for, inter alia, industrial diversification and value addition to commodities.
Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.
Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.
By 2030, combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world.
