NirvanoMarine™

NirvanoMarine™ uses humane, low-impact tools designed to support better coexistence between people and marine wildlife. Everything is deliberately gentle, reversible, and eco-aligned — no chemicals, no harsh deterrents, and nothing that imitates biological calls.

Current focus areas:

• Stranding support for cetaceans soft, non-biological cues to help responders gently guide disoriented animals back toward safer water.

• Shark–human interaction reduction — subtle, nature-inspired underwater cues encouraging calm redirection rather than startle or avoidance.

• Turtle-safe tools to help minimise disturbance around nesting or rehab areas by avoiding known disorienting wavelengths.

• Ghost-net & diver safety awareness — simple, wildlife-neutral markers to help divers reduce entanglement risks during cleanup and survey work.

• Diver buddy-communication markers — unobtrusive patterns for orientation in low visibility, with no electronics required.

What it isn’t:

• Not a deterrent system in the traditional sense

• Not based on biological sound playback

• Not intrusive, high-intensity, or behaviour-altering

Although NirvanoMarine™ started with cetaceans, sharks, turtles, and diver safety, the same gentle, low-impact approach could also support other marine animals in practical ways.

Because the cues are soft, non-biological, and fully reversible, they don’t interfere with natural behaviour — they just create a moment of awareness or gentle redirection when needed. This means the approach could help in situations involving:

Manatees and dugongs – guiding them safely away from boat channels
Seals and sea lions – supporting rescue teams and release sites
Porpoises – extremely sound-sensitive, so the low-impact method is ideal
Rays and reef fish – reducing accidental disturbance or entanglement risk
Ghost-net cleanup dives – improving diver safety without affecting wildlife

It’s not a deterrent system and doesn’t simulate animal calls. It’s simply a set of eco-friendly tools that help people and marine wildlife coexist more safely, without leaving any lasting impact.
