全球「藍碳資源」正快速流失。海草床作為高效碳匯，單位面積固碳潛力最高可達熱帶雨林的 35 倍。然而受氣候與人為影響，棲地正遭受毀滅性打擊；以美國坦帕灣為例，2020 至 2022 年間海草覆蓋率已下降逾 12%。傳統復育極度依賴潛水員手工，體力負荷重且效率緩慢，難以追趕消失速度。
GREEN WAVE 為海洋生態修復而生，旨在透過設計解決技術瓶頸。本計畫採用生物可分解材料開發復育基底，為幼苗提供保護環境，並在植株穩固後自然消散，不對海洋留下任何塑料遺留物。
技術應用上，本平台導入人機協作概念，整合精密浮力囊與電力捲揚機系統，有效抵銷水下重力與阻力。潛水員能透過電控設備精準移動復育模組，大幅減輕生理負擔，並提升植苗精確度與作業安全性。
透過優化水下流程，GREEN WAVE 預計能顯著提升復育效率，使大規模工程成為可能。本設計不僅是技術革新，更是海洋生態的守護者，透過重建海草床恢復海洋調節氣候的能力。GREEN WAVE 代表設計與環境共生的新時代，致力為藍色星球找回失去的綠意。
Global blue carbon is disappearing. Seagrass beds sequester carbon 35 times faster than rainforests, yet Tampa Bay saw a 12% decline from 2020-2022. Traditional restoration is too labor-intensive to counter this loss.
GREEN WAVE is an innovative system designed to overcome these bottlenecks. The project employs biodegradable substrates as a nursery for seedlings, decomposing after establishment to ensure no plastic debris remains.
Technologically, the platform integrates human-machine collaboration, combining buoyancy chambers with an electric winch. This counteracts underwater gravity and drag, allowing divers to maneuver modules with precision. This reduces physical strain while enhancing planting accuracy and safety.
By optimizing workflows, GREEN WAVE boosts restoration efficiency, making large-scale recovery feasible. This design is a technological innovation and a guardian of marine ecosystems, dedicated to restoring the greenery of our blue planet.
