Project Overview/Introduction

The International SeaKeepers Society (SeaKeepers) proudly recognizes the following DISCOVERY Vessels for their involvement in Citizen Science initiatives throughout December 2025. Our Citizen Science program engages yacht owners, boaters, and crew in global ocean conservation by supporting marine research through data collection during regular voyages. These meaningful expeditions do not require scientists onboard and instead rely on community participation to contribute to ongoing oceanographic research and environmental monitoring efforts.

Seabed 2030 Project

The following DISCOVERY Vessels enrolled in support of the Seabed 2030 initiative, helping to map the ocean floor in support of The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project.
