From seashore to seafloor and from pole to pole, Perpetual Planet Ocean Expeditions integrate cutting-edge science and traditional ecological knowledge to examine the causes and impacts of marine systems change across the largest and most vital ecosystem on Earth – the Ocean.
The multi-year exploration of all five basins of the world’s ocean – Arctic, Pacific, Southern, Atlantic and Indian – leverages several science disciplines, partnerships between National Geographic Explorers and coastal communities and world-class storytelling to reveal the diversity and connectivity of these unique and vulnerable ecosystems while scaling bold and innovative solutions to help protect, restore and rebalance our planet’s largest biome.
