THE DEEP OCEAN MATTERS

Our mission is to map life in the deep ocean


We have designed a global scale programme of field work that is needed to deliver the Ocean Decade objectives. Over the course of the Ocean Decade we will map affiliated research in all ocean basins and track progress in achieving global biological sampling coverage.

Working Together Towards Common Objectives and Standards

Challenger 150 provides an umbrella, under which individual research projects can operate, and in doing so contribute to a global research effort coordinated towards a set of common objectives and standards.

Effective deep-sea management is hindered by gaps in our knowledge. Challenger 150 seeks to address this.

How We Work

Regional Working Groups bring together researchers active in specific ocean basins to coordinate research, prioritize areas for study, support development of new funding bids, build capacity, and ensure the data gaps are filled. Technical Working Groups will support the development of standards in methods and measurement.
