Support Ocean Research Project

The ocean holds the mysteries of our planet’s past and the key to its future. At Ocean Research Project, we sail into the unknown, conducting vital scientific studies to understand the impact of human activities on our seas. But the wind behind our sails is you.

​

Grants occasionally help fund specific research, but it’s the unwavering support of passionate individuals—sailors, scientists, conservationists, and ocean lovers like you—that truly makes our work possible.

​

Testimonials

“We have worked hard to demonstrate the critical importance of Arctic bathymetry, and particularly the bathymetry around Greenland to our understanding of the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its impact on global sea level rise.  Efforts in the GO-MARIE mission are important in helping us fill critical mapping gaps in these polar regions.  We also appreciate ORP’s keen willingness to send the data you collect to Seabed 2030; your mapping efforts have already contributed to the slowly building map of Arctic bathymetry.   I understand and support ORP’s desire to obtain a sonar capable of mapping in the deeper waters represented by many of the Arctic fjords so that you can maintain and enhance the Ocean Research Project's mission and very much hope to see this new capability come to fruition.”
