Waitt Expeditions
Part of the Program for Ocean Exploration and Conservation
With the newly launched Program for Ocean Exploration and Conservation, the Waitt Institute for Discovery is committed to enabling interdisciplinary research deep beneath the planet’s last frontier of discovery. The ocean has much to reveal to us about the earth’s natural and cultural history — from mysterious new life forms to long-lost ships of ancient seafaring cultures. The Institute believes that our future, like our past, is tied to that of the sea. A better understanding of the world’s oceans is critical to the survival of all life on our planet.
