The programme is composed of collaborative international expeditions combining scientific research, public outreach and government cooperation.
It will investigate selected marine areas worldwide with the following objectives:
- to understand through a multidisciplinary scientific approach the ecosystemic status and functioning of the area explored and to advise stakeholders through a transdisciplinary approach (sustainability science);
- to share the issues and knowledge with the greatest number of people through an ambitious outreach programme;
- to mobilize governments, through diplomatic action, by providing information and analyses to support the sustainable management of the selected marine areas.
