What we are testing for

Sea water is being contaminated with all sorts of pollutants. Without anyone checking the state of seawater today, who will be able to tell if it is getting better or worse in the future. In steps Sea Xploration. We are testing seawater quality for 99 different indicators including:

Covid 19 caused a long pause in our research. What began as the start of the research in 2018 was paused in 2020 after the world closed up their borders due to Covid 19. Having had the opportunity to begin testing and videoing the sea floor for two years there was still much to be documented. SEA Xploration is now in the process of securing another research vessel to continue the research. If you are aware of anyone interested receiving a tax deductible donation for their sailboat please contact us.
