Yachts, science, and sustainability
An online roundtable held on 6th December, brought together representatives from Triton Submarines, International Seakeepers Society, Shadowcat, and FarSounder to discuss how and why yachts and science should connect for the better, as well as potential barriers to this collaboration.
People onboard superyachts, whether it’s owners, guests or crew, will have a connection to some extent to the sea. Many have a deeper passion and interest for the oceans, so an appetite for involvement in ocean science projects can be easy to develop. An example given during the seminar was some people who bought submersibles purely for recreation had started offering these submersibles for scientific activity once they witnessed the wonders of the underwater world.
