Did you know? The Challenger expedition in 1872 laid the foundation of oceanography, exploring the mysteries of the deep and revolutionising our understanding of the ocean. While we have significantly broadened our understanding of the deep sea, 80% of our oceans remain unexplored.​

SDG Target 14.A: This SDG relates to the necessity of continuing to develop our scientific knowledge and marine technology to help restore life under water. As the oceans sustain all life on Earth, it is the most important exploration that we can be part of. ​
