Expedition Audacity Research Foundation Family

Some of the most consequential environmental change is happening out of sight — in offshore corridors, remote coastlines, and high-risk regions where oversight is limited and accountability is easiest to avoid. In many places, the gap isn’t a lack of concern. It’s a lack of consistent presence. Evidence can’t be assumed. It has to be collected, protected, and reported with discipline.

Most of the ocean is not empty. It’s unwitnessed.

We don’t run campaigns. We run expeditions. That means planning, logistics, and safety systems that allow teams to stay operational in places where conditions shift quickly and support is far away. It also means methods that can be repeated — so change can be measured over time, not guessed from snapshots. 

Donations to Expedition Audacity do not confer influence over research priorities, findings, governance, or editorial decisions. Support enables the work — it does not direct it. Our obligation remains to the mission, our partners, and the facts. 

Sustained support keeps expedition days from being cut short.
