Ocean Exploration Trust

The Ocean Exploration Trust was founded in 2008 by Dr. Robert Ballard to engage in pure ocean exploration. The international programs center on scientific exploration of the seafloor. In addition to conducting scientific research, they offer expeditions to explorers on shore via live video, audio, and data feeds from the field. Ocean Exploration Trust also brings educators and students of all ages aboard during E/V Nautilusexpeditions, offering them hands-on experience in ocean exploration, research, and communications.
