Creating awareness and excitement about our deep-sea project.

Our collective ambition to conduct locally lead deep-sea research in Seychelles has gathered a lot of attention and buzz in Seychelles. We have been able to partake in media interviews with the local newspaper (Today) and television channel (telesesel).

 

We have also managed to raise an extra US$ 700 through a private donor that will help us to accomplish our goals. The Danny Faure Foundation (headed by the previous Seychelles President Mr. Danny Faure), generously made the donation after they heard about our endeavour to explore the lesser known parts of our ocean.

We were also invited by the Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change and Environment to share the wonders of the deep sea and the need to study it especially in a small island state (or large ocean nation) like Seychelles.
