Who We Are

The COAST Foundation

Founded in 2017 by a group of marine and subsea professionals to engage in education through subsea exploration and technology development. Our regional program will center on scientific exploration of the seafloor and our goal is to conduct expeditions from aboard an Exploration Vessel to be acquired by the Foundation.

OUR STORY

MEET THE TEAM

In addition to conducting scientific research, we will offer our expeditions to explorers on shore via live video, audio, and data feeds from the field.

We will also bring educators and students of all ages aboard during our expeditions, offering them hands-on experience in ocean exploration, research, and communications.
