An Introduction to Proteus™, The International Space Station of the Ocean
An Introduction to Proteus™, The International Space Station of the Ocean
Our entry into the International Decade of the Ocean highlights the need for novel research approaches, and especially for new ways of reigniting the public’s passion for the ocean. Fabien Cousteau, first grandson of legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau is embarking with a team of fellow aquanauts and scientists to build Proteus, a cutting-edge underwater habitat and scientific laboratory situated on the coral reefs of Curacao that will allow aquanauts to live in saturation for weeks at a time. We will introduce Proteus and discuss some of the cutting edge research we have been conducting to inform ocean conservation, as well as to engage the broader public in new ways of understanding their connection to the ocean.
