OUR
JOURNEY
BioCap was formed out of the desire to help solve the environmental crisis of climate change. Rising sea levels and an increase in extreme natural events like wildfires and hurricanes (among many others) are threatening the natural world that the members of BioCap love and enjoy. So, the team sat down to brainstorm methods to reduce carbon in the atmosphere and naturally landed on a biological approach, leaning on the expertise of the team. As a result, the team came upon the secondary problem of dead zones caused by algae. This led to the realization that BioCap can solve two global problems at the same time.
