Retide Labs

Retide Labs is a Canadian AI and robotics startup founded in 2025 that develops intelligence systems to detect, track, and predict ocean plastic pollution. Its work spans artificial intelligence, robotics, computer vision and satellite imagery analysis, environmental data analytics, and predictive modelling. The company operates from Canada with a global remit, addressing pollution across rivers, coastlines, and open oceans.

The firm's main product is Retide Maps, a global intelligence platform intended to guide targeted cleanup efforts and, ultimately, to serve as the intelligence layer for autonomous ocean cleanup systems. The platform maps, tracks, and forecasts ocean plastic pollution by combining satellite imagery, environmental data, and in-situ information from field sources.

Retide Labs works with non-governmental organisations, governments, researchers, and data providers, and describes its mission as making plastic pollution visible, actionable, and ultimately solvable. The company is part of Canada's AI, climate-tech, and ocean innovation ecosystems through participation in NextAI, Foresight Canada, and the Ocean Startup Project.
