PROTEUS™, Space Station of the Ocean

Fabien Cousteau, along with a team of ocean scientists, educators, social entrepreneurs is building PROTEUS™, a modular underwater saturation diving facility that includes multiple cutting-edge scientific laboratories and a broadcast studio.

With an anticipated delivery date of 2025, PROTEUS™ will be situated adjacent to a coral reef within a marine protected area in Curaçao. The new habitat will foster a broad array of research and public engagement approaches, with a focus on using cutting edge science and engineering techniques to address critical challenges facing society such as coral reef health and maintenance of biodiversity; environmental monitoring; human health and well-being; and robotics and technological innovation.

PROTEUS™ will promote collaborations among academic researchers and educators with industry, government and non-profit organizations across the planet, and is committed to the co-development of solutions to diverse ocean challenges with local communities of Curaçao.
