Objective: to create the first and only vessel in the world allowing a 24h/24 exploration on long-term missions of the open sea and the abyss.
The ocean is at the heart of the global system. Its marvels must be discovered for us to wonder at, but it must also be understood so that we can manage its resources in a more sustainable way in order to preserve the future.
TO INFORM
SeaOrbiter wishes to share the wonder and fascination that only the ocean and its creatures can provoke. This fascination will intensify our curiosity and prompt us to learn more about this unknown world on which so much depends.
TO RAISE AWARENESS
SeaOrbiter’s power to raise awareness, communicate and capture the imagination can play an important role in the quest to find a new approach to the way we live our lives.
TO WARN
SeaOrbiter also wants to show the disastrous effects of pollution, overexploitation and climate change on some communities today, in the hope that these warnings will persuade us all to change our ways.
TO GUIDE
SeaOrbiter wants to help boost education on marine life in order to increase its appeal as a field of study, and it wants to encourage new ideas for creating a living environment that respects and nurtures the riches of the ocean.
