press release
After 400 million years and several mass extinctions, coral reefs around the world are set to disappear in a matter of decades. But the coral reefs in the Red Sea live in hyper-warm and saline waters that are similar to what the rest of our #oceans could look like in just a few decades. What can we learn from them, and how can we apply that saving to #coralreefs around the world? Created for the #G20 in Saudi Arabia, in service of the Presidency’s second aim of “safeguarding the planet.”
OceanX's first-of-its kind survey in the #RedSea was only possible thanks to the partnership with NEOM, Bloomberg Philanthropies Vibrant Oceans, KAUST, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, with special thanks to CORDIO Founding Director, Dr. David Obura, and RSMAS and its Professor and Chair of the Department of Marine Geosciences, Dr. Sam Purkis.
OceanX has begun a deep-ocean expedition to investigate the Sulawesi seamount chain.
OceanX has completed its first mission in Timor-Leste, carrying out science across the northern coast and Atauro Island region.
OceanX and NUS launch a 24-day OceanXplorer mission to study the unexplored Monsoon Rise seamount chain in the Indian Ocean.
OceanX and IMAR have concluded a high-impact deep-sea mission that could reshape how nations protect remote marine ecosystems.
