Workforce
Repeated collections, manual or semi-mechanized operations.
Cost reduction
Reduce the cost of sargassum collection
The SargaJet® allows collection at sea, before stranding, to reduce the operational cost of sargassum management and limit heavy interventions on the beach.
50-90% cost reduction
Collection before stranding
Low‑tech, robust, patented
SargaMap to better anticipate
Savings depend on the configuration, the density of the layers, the state of the sea and the local organization.

The economic problem
Why is collection so expensive today?
Once stranded, sargassum is more difficult to remove. They can be mixed with sand, require repeated interventions and mobilize heavy resources in an emergency.
Gear on beach
Mobilization of heavy equipment and repeated passage along the coast.
Transportation
Large volumes to be moved after stranding.
Sand taken
Collection on the beach may take away some sand.
Low anticipation
Interventions are often triggered when the sargassum has already arrived.
Change approach
The lever: intervene before stranding
The SargaJet® changes the equation by collecting floating sargassum slicks at sea. The goal is to address the problem sooner, with a mobile, low‑tech solution designed to collect continuously.
Before
Collection after stranding
- Sargassum on beach
- Emergency intervention
- Mixed sand
- Recurring costs
After
Collection at sea
- Floating tablecloths
- Collection before stranding
- Cleaner biomass
- Optimized operational cost
Cost items
The cost items that SargaJet® allows you to optimize
| Cost item | Classic collection | With SargaJet® |
|---|---|---|
| Workforce | High depending on frequency and method | Optimized through continuous collection |
| Gear on beach | Often necessary | Limited remedy thanks to collection at sea |
| Sand taken | Collection risk | Collection before stranding, without direct intervention on the sand |
| Anticipation | Management often suffered | Improved organization with SargaMap |
| Cost per volume collected | Variable depending on method and urgency | Reduction potential depending on configuration |
| Valuation | Biomass often mixed with sand | Biomass collected at sea, more suitable for valorization |
Key figures
A potential reduction of 50 to 90%
Depending on the configurations, the SargaJet® can significantly reduce collection costs compared to existing solutions, under identical conditions of density and sea state.

These performances depend in particular on the density of the slicks, the state of the sea, the intervention distance, the local organization, the number of nets available and the current collection method.
By actor
What cost reduction means for you
Hotel or resort
Reduce recurring expenses linked to strandings, preserve the customer experience and limit visible interventions on the beach.
Coastal community
Control the coastal management budget, pool equipment and limit emergency interventions.
Foundation or beach manager
Protect a site with a gentler approach to the coastline and compatible with environmental logic.
Collection operator
Improve collection capacity, reduce marginal cost and offer a more competitive service.
SargaMap
Anticipate to avoid unnecessary interventions
Combined with SargaJet®, SargaMap further reduces costs by allowing finer forecasts of groundings and organization of collection closer to actual needs.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. This is a potential reduction depending on the configuration, the density of the slicks, the state of the sea, the local organization and the current collection method.
Collecting before stranding allows floating slicks to be treated earlier, limiting heavy interventions on the beach and reducing certain constraints linked to sand, transport and emergencies.
The SargaJet® intervenes upstream, at sea. It can reduce the need for heavy interventions on the beach, but the configuration depends on the site and strandings.
