Recovery Earth

Technology to help the planet recover

Recovery Earth LLC develops environmental technology designed to restore ecosystems, protect biodiversity, and modernize conservation infrastructure — starting with America's freshwater systems.

Our Projects

Three interconnected initiatives addressing freshwater ecosystem health at scale.

⚑ Flagship Project

Invasive Fish Removal System

Our primary initiative targets the bowfin and other invasive freshwater species devastating native fish populations across Florida and the Southeast. We are developing a smart fish passage and selective removal system that uses underwater sensors and AI-powered species recognition to identify and remove invasive fish while allowing native species to pass safely through water infrastructure.

The system integrates real-time computer vision, automated mechanical removal, and data reporting — creating a scalable, low-labor solution for water managers, municipalities, and conservation agencies.

Active Development

Florida Waterways Guardian

A citizen science progressive web app (PWA) that puts AI-powered fish identification in the hands of anglers, students, and conservationists. Users can photograph catches in the field — with or without a cell signal — and receive instant species identification, invasive species alerts, and reporting tools that feed data directly to conservation databases.

The app includes bilingual support, offline capability, and an educational layer connecting users to local water health data. It also serves as the primary public interface for our AI classifier, currently training on 44 freshwater species classes.

Future Technology

Water Filtration Technology

In parallel with our biological management systems, Recovery Earth is exploring next-generation water filtration technology designed for natural waterways and aquatic corridors. This initiative focuses on low-footprint, ecologically compatible filtration that can be deployed alongside our fish passage infrastructure.

This technology is currently in early research and development. We anticipate piloting concepts alongside our invasive species removal deployments in future phases.

AI Environmental Technology

At the core of every Recovery Earth system is a purpose-built AI platform trained on aquatic ecosystems. Our computer vision models identify species in real-world conditions — murky water, partial views, varying light — and integrate with automated hardware to turn identification into action.

These intelligent systems allow real-time understanding of ecosystems and help governments, water managers, and organizations respond faster to environmental change — replacing slow, costly manual surveys with continuous automated monitoring.

Recovery Waters Foundation

Our companion nonprofit — education, community outreach, and conservation programs powered by the same AI tools.

501(c)(3) · In Formation

Foundation programs include Fish AI education for K–12 schools, invasive species removal events, freshwater mussel conservation, and citizen waterway cleanups — with a focus on Title I and underserved communities across Florida.

Investor & Partner Interest

Recovery Earth is currently in early development. We welcome conversations with mission-aligned investors, conservation agencies, and technology partners interested in accelerating environmental recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our technology, mission, and how to get involved.

What species does the invasive fish removal system target? +
Our current focus is on freshwater invasive species affecting Florida and Southeastern waterways, including the bowfin. The system is designed to be retrained for additional target species as deployment expands to new regions.
How does the AI fish identification work in murky water? +
Our computer vision models are trained specifically for real-world aquatic conditions — including low visibility, partial views, and varying light. The system uses underwater sensors and image processing techniques designed for freshwater environments, not laboratory conditions.
Is the Florida Waterways Guardian app available now? +
The app is currently in active development. A prototype with simulated AI analysis is available as a demonstration asset. The live version with our trained classifier will be released as the AI model reaches accuracy benchmarks. Sign up for updates to be notified at launch.
How can schools or nonprofits get involved? +
The Recovery Waters Foundation — currently in formation — will run educational programs for K–12 schools, with a focus on Title I and underserved communities. Use the contact form below to express interest, and we will follow up as Foundation programs come online.
Are you accepting investors or research partners? +
Yes. We welcome conversations with mission-aligned investors, conservation agencies, water management districts, and technology partners. Use the investor form above or the contact form below to start a conversation.
What is the timeline for the water filtration technology? +
Water filtration is a future-phase initiative. We are currently focused on delivering the invasive fish removal system and the Waterways Guardian app. Filtration research will advance in parallel, with pilot concepts planned alongside future fish passage infrastructure deployments.
