SCIENCE & RESEARCH
Using science to solve problems before they’re even visible.
Data, intelligence, and continuous insight are built into how we approach every stage of ecosystem health. From the satellite signals that surface early warnings to the lab results that inform every prescription, the intelligence layer is not an add-on to our science. It is how our science works.
DESIGNED BY SCIENTISTS, PROVEN IN THE FIELD
SEPRO is a recognized leading innovator in aquatic plant, algae, and water resource management solutions.
Science is our foundation. We lead with research-backed, data-driven solutions that deliver measurable results. Our R&D efforts in water and land management set the industry standard, and our precision-based approach ensures that every solution we prescribe is both effective and reliable. We don’t just solve problems; we tell the stories of impact, advocate for change, and drive meaningful progress.

How We Work
IP & Publications
Research that leads
We do more than cite the scientific record; we contribute to it. As of 2026, SEPRO employees have authored or co-authored 56 peer-reviewed publications.
Digital + Field
Science in the field
From satellite monitoring and in-water nutrient sensing to lab results in 72 hours for most tests, SEPRO’s digital platform serves as the bridge between research and real-world decisions.
Research Network
Partnerships that expand reach
Beyond ongoing work with academic institutions, government agencies, and conservation bodies, SEPRO currently has active research partnerships and collaborations with 50+ researchers across the U.S. and Europe.
FLAGSHIP INNOVATION
SEPRO’s advanced approach to water restoration, the EutroPHIX team works to address the root cause of harmful algal blooms at the source. Equipped with decades of scientific expertise and proven methodologies, the EutroPHIX team partners with public agencies, lake associations, and private stakeholders to deliver measurable improvements in water clarity, nutrient levels, and long-term ecosystem health.

What are Algae?
Algae encompass an incredibly diverse group of organisms, ranging from microscopic planktonic species visible only under a microscope to giant kelps that can grow hundreds of feet in length. This episode explores what algae are, how they are defined, the major groups they belong to, and the important roles they play, both beneficial and problematic, in aquatic ecosystems.
How to Identify Different Types of Algae
Most ponds and water bodies contain many different types of algae, though only one or two species may be responsible for the issues being observed. Explore the key characteristics used to identify common algae species and distinguish between different types of algal growth.
SEPRO Solutions for Algae Control
SEPRO offers targeted solutions for every algae management challenge, from planktonic blooms and filamentous mats to bottom-growing macroalgae. Understanding the type of algae present is the first step toward selecting the most effective management strategy and achieving long-term water quality goals.
