The Nekton Maldives Mission, 4th September to 7th October, is undertaking the first systematic survey and sampling of the Maldives from the surface to 1000 metre depths. Almost nothing is known about what is below 30 metres, the vast majority of the country.

In partnership with the Government of Maldives, the Mission will help create extensive new marine protected areas and ensure the ocean continues to protect and provide for the Maldivian people.

Keynote: First Descent: Indian Ocean 2019-2022

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 13:27:02 GMT

Oliver Steeds presents First Descent: Indian Ocean 2019-2022, a series of Expeditions to explore and conserve the world's most unknown and least protected ocean, the Indian Ocean. From submersibles to ROVs, from sensors to camera systems, Teledyne Marine's Sea of Solutions have been deployed through the mission to conduct multidisciplinary research and amplify ocean awareness. During the first Expedition: First Descent: Seychelles 2019, the mission partnered with Associated Press and Sky to broadcast a series of world firsts from the submersibles including a live documentary series, newscasts and a Presidential Address. The Seychelles' President's live broadcast became the largest news story of the day and Associated Press estimated that coverage of the Mission across TV, print and digital reached 3.5billion people.

Teledyne Marine delivers solutions for NEKTON’S First Descent mission

Mon, 27 May 2019 10:55:19 GMT

Teledyne Marine’s Sea of Solutions personified in the stunning images and important data collected by NEKTON’s First Decent mission.

First Descent is a series of expeditions combining innovations in technology, AI, big data and communications, in a bold bid to accelerate the scientific exploration and conservation of the Indian Ocean, the world’s least explored and least protected ocean.

How the Indian Ocean changes in the coming decades will profoundly affect the lives, livelihoods and wellbeing of 2.5billion living in the region.

First Descent begins in the Seychelles and continues with other expeditions across the Indian Ocean. First Descent: Indian Ocean concludes with the State of the Indian Ocean Summit in 2022 in Oxford.

Teledyne Marine supplies the expedition with Software and essential sonar, camera, light, and navigation technology.

Doing pre-dive surveys with the SeaBat T50-P Extended Range Multibeam Sonar on the First Descent Mission.
Much of the ocean is unmapped and even what has been surveyed was done so centuries ago. We catch up with Mike from Bibby HydroMap who is using a Sonar to scan an area off the coast of Aldabra.

Testing the T50-P Multibeam system for the NEKTON Firste Descent Mission

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 14:28:04 GMT

The Multibeam system is crucial for mapping the seabed for the scientists and also the submersibles. It has never been done on such a small craft before!

The Next Great Odyssey of Human Endeavour Exploring the Deep Ocean

Thu, 09 Nov 2017 14:55:25 GMT

Keynote presentation by Oliver Steeds

Humankind is poised to make the next giant leap – into the deep ocean. We now have the technology available to us to discover more of our planet in the next 10 years than we have in the last 100,000.
Throughout human history, exploration has always driven our progress. Lief Ericson's journey to North America (1001 AD), the discovery of the New World (1490s), Magellan's first circumnavigation (1519) and space exploration (1957-) have all pushed back the frontiers of our knowledge, unlocking immense opportunity and changing our relationship to our planet and ourselves.
But since 1969, we've been looking up when we should have been looking down. The most important part of our planet, the deep ocean, remains the least known part of our planet.
The ocean is the heart of our planet. It's 99% of the planet's biosphere[1], regulates our atmosphere and climate and produces 50% of the oxygen we breath[2]. It captures heat and carbon dioxide which dramatically reduces global warming and provides a primary source of protein for 3 billion people[3]. The ocean is everybody's business. How it changes affects us all. The problem is that we don't know how the deep ocean functions, how healthy it is, how resilient it is and how the development of a sustainable blue economy can drive our growth.
The ocean remains the last great unknown frontier on our planet. We've only biologically sampled 0.0001%[4] and mapped an area equivalent the size of Tasmania to the same kind of detail that we have mapped the entire orbs of the Moon and Mars[5].
From Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), from seabed mapping systems and chemical sensors to the initial library of DNA sequences of marine animals, technological developments now unlock extraordinary new research capabilities. We now have the ability to discover more of our planet in the next 10 years than the last 100,000 of human history.
New areas of economic activity such as renewable energy and marine mining are on the horizon. Millions of new species are to be discovered that can propel human medicine. Resources to be unearthed that will drive our sustainable economic development. Even the origins of life on Planet Earth are to be found.
To engage the world in our all of our work, we should be looking to the space community to learn how to improve our story-telling – engaging our audiences with stories that are positive, forward looking and about a brighter future; that are Mission based and trigger the imagination, communicating danger and building on narratives of exceptionalism, patriotism, exploration and the collective human achievement.
Together, as an industry, we are already leading the exploration of the deep ocean, the last, great unknown frontier on Planet Earth.
The Apollo Missions, polar exploration, Jacques Cousteau's adventures, even Felix Baumgartner's space jump captivated the world with their human drama, battles against adversity, and above all, the unknown. We need the unknown. It is the sense of mystery that gives us imagination and makes us human. Our work is the next positive epic story of human endeavor that can inspire humanity.
