About DBRF

Deep Blue Research Foundation is a non-profit organization that conducts at-sea marine research around the world. Ongoing projects include studies in the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans.

In addition to collaborating with academic and governmental research groups, the Foundation also focuses on working directly with both local native fishers and international commercial fishers to study lesser known marine species, often in remote marine locations.

The Foundation collects data, specimens, and samples worldwide, sharing findings with peer researchers, providing data to policymakers, and educating the general public concerning critical issue of marine conservation.

Along with scientific publications, the Foundation disseminates its research through video documentaries, outreach events, and global training workshops. During its research expeditions, Deep Blue Research Foundation has discovered several new species of sharks, fishes, and invertebrates, and has gathered data on some of the most elusive animals on the planet.
