Our Ocean and Food are At Stake
1.6 million tons of mercury are trapped in the North Pole. It releases into the ocean 400 times faster than from human pollution sources. This process is accelerated by climate change.

Trace Seafood from Ocean to Plate
We collect mercury data in fish blood to provide suppliers with a competitive advantage and consumers with safety awareness and trust in the seafood they consume.

Create a New Global Benchmark
80minus integrates the latest technologies in mercury detection and blockchain encryption. We also hope to initiate changes happening at other stages of the ecosystem, such as more scientific research on mercury pollution.
