Research built to match today’s Earth and Ocean challenges.

From fisheries to megafauna, protected areas to pollution, we lead systems-level research. When it accelerates impact, we use the eOceans app and platform, often with participatory science, to go further, faster.

We run many inclusive projects ensure every observation counts.

Our global, participatory science projects harness observations from around the world—tracking biodiversity, sharks, manta rays, seahorses, turtles, jellyfish, whales, marine heatwaves, and the threats they face. Every observation matters.
