Small Ripples. Big Waves


How Collective Action Creates Lasting Impact

 Expedition Audacity Research Foundation is a registered Canadian charity and U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit conducting independent, field-based environmental research and documentation in high-risk marine regions. 

How ordinary people fund extraordinary ocean work.

No one saves the ocean alone.

 

But together? Small, steady actions change everything.

That’s how movements have always worked.

Not through permission. Not through perfection. Through participation.


The Expedition Audacity Research Foundation exists for the places that fall through the cracks — fragile marine ecosystems, frontline Indigenous communities, and environmental crimes that flourish in silence.


We don’t wait for consensus. We don’t wait for governments to catch up.


We go where the work is — with science, evidence, and storytelling — and we bring back the truth.

Why 2026 Matters


For years, we’ve been doing the work with ingenuity, partnerships, and borrowed tools.

2026 is different.


It’s the year we scale what actually works.


After proving our capability in the field — often in places governments couldn’t or wouldn’t operate — we’re building something durable: vessels, technology, and programmes that can’t be switched off when things get uncomfortable.


And that kind of resilience isn’t built by a handful of wealthy benefactors.

It’s built by thousands of people showing up consistently.


Where Your Support Goes


Your contribution directly enables:


  • Independent field research in under-monitored marine regions
  • Indigenous-led collaboration and community documentation
  • Vessel operations, safety systems, and expedition logistics
  • Evidence capture used by researchers, educators, and decision-makers
     

Every contribution supports active field capacity — not passive overhead.


What Your Monthly Support Makes Possible


Your donation — whether it’s the cost of a coffee or something far larger — doesn’t sit in a silo. It becomes part of a working system.


Independent Research & Justice at Sea


Your support helps secure and operate our own purpose-built research vessel — so investigations don’t stop when insurers get nervous or charter access disappears.


Small gifts fund safety gear, repairs, fuel, and training.
Together, they keep the ship moving — and coming home.


Indigenous-Led Frontline Research & Storytelling


Through Audax Ventus, we work with communities, not around them.


Your support enables:


  • Indigenous-led research voyages
  • Youth training in environmental storytelling
  • Crisis-response documentation
  • Films, education tools, and VR created with communities, not about them
     

Small donors fund travel, safety kits, youth equipment, and accessibility.
That’s not charity. That’s partnership.


Deep-Sea Truth-Seeking


The deep ocean is where some of the most important climate stories — and environmental crimes — are hidden.


Your support expands our ROV programme, allowing:


  • Multiple research sites at once
  • Indigenous collaboration on deep-sea monitoring
  • Documentary-grade evidence
  • Investigations into habitat loss, plastics, mining damage, and fisheries crime
     

Every contribution pulls another unseen ecosystem into the light.


Lighter, Cleaner Operations


We’re transitioning our support vessels to low-emissions, high-efficiency systems — because credibility matters.


Small gifts build components.
Together, they power a cleaner future.


An Invitation


If you believe the world needs more courage, more honesty, and more people willing to go where the work is hardest — you already belong here.


Whether you give $5 a month or underwrite an entire mission, you’re part of the same crew, heading toward the same horizon.


Be the ripple.
Join the wave.
Help change the tide.

Why Small Donations Matter (Actually Matter) 


Here’s the truth most organisations won’t say out loud:


Small donors create resilience.
They:

  • Stabilise operations
  • Protect independence
  • Prevent mission drift
  • Make organisations harder to silence

  

Major donors help us scale.  Small donors help us last.


Both are equal partners.


Small Ripples. Big Waves.


This isn’t a slogan.


It’s our operating model.
When thousands of people give a little, we gain stability. When larger donors step in, they amplify every ripple already in motion.


That’s how ecosystems are protected. That’s how evidence outpaces denial. That’s how truth survives.

Continuity Depends on Support

Sustained independent research capacity is built month by month — and gaps in support directly limit time in the field.
