A new study from Dr. Manu Prakash at Stanford University changes our understanding of how effective our oceans are at sequestrating carbon dioxide. Dr. Manu Prakash’s lab invented a rotating microscope, so they can study how fast microorganisms that remove carbon dioxide are falling to the ocean floor. They discovered never before seen mucus “parachutes” on these organisms, delaying how much carbon dioxide is absorbed out of Earth’s atmosphere. This new information will aid in making climate change predictions more accurate. Dr. Manu Prakash has been a part of the science faculty on OceanX’s Young Explorers Program and this research has been supported by Dalio Philanthropies. https://lnkd.in/gxE93iHG

🚨New Science Alert OceanX, Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), and researchers from New York University Abu Dhabi and the Fujairah Research Centre, captured the first ever record of the endangered Bramble Shark in UAE waters during our 2023 mission in the region.

OceanX is proud to announce a new partnership with the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, marking a major step in advancing oceanographic research and conservation efforts across the Atlantic Ocean. This collaboration supports the goals of the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation—a coalition of 42 nations dedicated to a sustainable Atlantic Ocean and fostering the next generation of ocean scientists. Together, OceanX and the U.S. Department of State are committed to impactful marine research and public engagement to support a healthy Atlantic for generations to come. #OceanConservation #AtlanticPartnership #SustainableOceans (edited) https://lnkd.in/edv2uhFR

⚓ CREW TAKEOVER  Say hello to Mylene, our Nurse and Stewardess aboard OceanExplorer as this week’s guest host. We wrapped our mission in Malaysia and we’re headed back to Singapore. Before we leave Malaysia we welcomed a hundred of guests on board to check out all that we’re doing in science, ship operations, media and education. While our time here in Malaysia has come to a close, we’re excited to come back for future missions. As always, stay curious, and keep exploring.

We are wrapped on our three-week science and media operations in Malaysia. Over the course of the mission, we conducted: ·       1,291 covered in Megafauna surveys  ·       61 plankton net tows ·       16 CTD casts ·       10 ROV dives ·       12 small boat science ops (4 mapping and 8 mini ROV) ·       22 scuba dives  ·       6 eDNA sequencing runs ·       14 TB of media footage We couldn’t have done it without our 40+ OceanX crew members and 28 Scientists. This valuable data will help us gain a better understanding of Malaysian waters and the ecosystems that exist here. The mission was conducted in partnership with the Pahang State and research partners from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), with support from the Government of Malaysia and the Malaysia Ocean Research Alliance (MORA).

We recently concluded our maiden voyage in Malaysia, where dozens of Malaysian scientists joined the OceanXplorer in the waters off Pahang, Malaysia, to evaluate the marine ecology and coastal ecosystem dynamics. Check out our latest press release to learn how this pioneering effort will play a key role in helping researchers track long-term changes to the reefs and their surrounding ecosystems. The mission was conducted in partnership with the Pahang State and research partners from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), with support from the Government of Malaysia and the Malaysia Ocean Research Alliance (MORA).

Selangor Youth Community, led by His Highness Tengku Amir Shah Ibni Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Al-Haj, Crown Prince of Selangor, and Tengku Zatashah, along with YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad Nazmi, Minister of NRES, H.E. Axel Cruau, Ambassador of France to Malaysia, and other esteemed guests, embarked on a transformative visit to OceanX—pioneers in marine exploration and conservation. This immersive experience aboard the cutting-edge OceanXplorer vessel underscored the crucial role youth play in addressing global environmental challenges. SAY initiated this visit by inviting key partners onboard the OceanXplorer, fostering conversations for long-term collaborations in ocean research and youth-led environmental action. Through this, we aim to spark greater awareness and preservation efforts. Together, we are empowering our youth to lead in protecting our oceans. 🌊💙 #SelangorYouthCommunity #OceanX #YouthLeadership #OceanConservation #SustainabilityInAction

OceanX’s co-CEO and chief science officer, Vincent Pieribone, joined Andrew Lewin on the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast recently. Take a listen to learn more about the incredible work we're doing at OceanX—from exploring the depths of the ocean to driving real solutions for ocean conservation and tackling climate change. 🌏🐋

We’ve just concluded operations on our first mission here in Malaysia. The scientists and crew are wrapping up operations and documenting their findings. We enjoyed our time here in Malaysia and can’t wait to see what science and new discoveries will be made by the amazing scientists aboard the OceanXplorer. In partnership with: University Malaysia Terengganu, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and New York University Abu Dhabi.
