Greenwater Foundation accelerates marine conservation by providing a platform that powers ocean research—connecting scientists with the vessels and ocean science assets they need, and equipping decision-makers with the data to determine where action is needed most.
Our Purpose
Finding solutions to conserve ocean life happens when scientists get out on the water—and when decision-makers have the data to act—because research confined to labs can only take us so far.
Greenwater Foundation is addressing this through an integrated platform that connects access, data, and action—protecting biodiversity, mapping the ocean floor, discovering life-saving compounds, and combating climate change.
An Integrated Platform
An integrated platform connecting access, data, and action.
Access
Web App for Discovering the World's Research Vessels
With VesselConnect, scientists, researchers, responders, and decision-makers can quickly find, compare, and connect with research vessels and other marine science assets anywhere in the world. Browse 550+ marine assets with powerful tools to search based on your unique project requirements.
Data
Generating data to reveal what is below
Our collaborative efforts have contributed high-resolution coastal mapping and ocean intelligence that shows critical habitats, updates marine navigation resources, and guides conservation strategies. We are advancing satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) to map coastal regions at scale in partnership with Caladan Oceanic and TCarta.
Research Vessel
Chartered for Critical Research and Exploration
Through a very generous donation, we now own a research vessel—R/V Cosmo, a 2013 Bruce Roberts 52, Steel-Aluminum Trawler Yacht. R/V Cosmo enables research in underserved regions, deployment of scientific teams, and integration of mapping and mission planning.

Action
Informing Decision-Makers
We provide data and insight that enable governments, NGOs, and funders to allocate resources effectively and determine where action is needed most.
