Our vision
The Data Science Needs from the Oceans We Sail
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time — reshaping our planet, our weather, and our future. The ocean plays a central role in this story, influencing global climate systems and holding vital clues to understanding change.
Collecting ocean data is essential — yet it’s often expensive and limited to research vessels, autonomous platforms, or satellites. At Sail for Science, we believe there’s another way.
Across the world, a vast community of cruising sailors already travels where few research ships can go. By equipping their journeys with modern, reliable tools, these sailors can collect valuable, eco-friendly ocean data — expanding our scientific understanding and empowering everyone to take part in ocean research.
