We’re building submersibles that will gather the data we need to make a difference for our planet. We have better maps of the moon and Mars than of our ocean floor. We’ve created a solution that provides accessibility to our deep oceans.
Who Does This Help?
We all need data that scientists can collect from our oceans so we can learn answers to important questions such as, Is marine protection working? and How are we being affected by the change our oceans are undergoing from our energy and production activities?
Who can participate?
We are helping universities, their students, and citizen scientists gain access to knowledge about our deep oceans. People connected to research and ecotourism vessels will be able to gain access to our submersibles. Anyone can contribute to our mission through donations and in-kind support. You could even join a mission as one of our supporters.
Where are we going?
We’re making discoveries about new species, how our energy and product activities impact us, and even about how much we just don’t know.To gather data about this critical information, we’re going to the Twilight Zone, also known as the Mesopelagic Zone between 200 and 1,000 meters deep.The Mesopelagic Zone is so named due to the limited amount of sunlight that reaches these depths, and it is here that many animals have developed traits like bioluminescence (are able to make their own light).Many types of animals that normally live at the surface hunt down here, including the beluga whale. This zone drops down to 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) and contains an array of unique and often bizarre looking creatures including angel sharks, dragonfish, gulper eels, radiolarians and the extremely rare Coelacanth.
