Ocean Conservation Charity, The Aquatica Foundation Joins GoChain’s Validator Network

The Aquatica Foundation leads Historic & Scientific Expeditions in tandem with NGOs like Sir Richard Branson’s Ocean Unite.

GoChain is proud to announce The Aquatica Foundation, an emerging ocean conservation charity launched by Aquatica Submarines is now a signing node on the GoChain mainnet. Aquatica Submarines is an emerging and innovative company in the manned submersible technology space. Based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, they design and manufacture safe, robust and versatile manned submersibles for use in scientific, commercial and recreational endeavors.

The Aquatica Foundation

The Aquatica vision is more than just making awesome submarines, they also share GoChain’s passion for sustainability and environmental education and change. The Aquatica Foundation has been established to promote and support three key Ocean imperatives:

Exploration

90% of the world’s oceans are unexplored and without scientific baseline data. This present a vast opportunity to grow the body of knowledge in this undiscovered realm.

Restoration

Many of the world’s ocean-related ecosystems are degraded or are at the risk of collapse. Working to restore these critical environments is core to ensuring an enduring, viable ocean environment and planet.

Education

70% of the Earth’s surface is the ocean. However, humankind’s understanding of its functions and structure represents the “tip-of-the-iceberg” at best. This knowledge needs to grow dramatically.

The Aquatica Foundation recently partnered with ocean conservation non-governmental organizations (NGOs); the Belize Audubon Society, responsible for managing the recent Blue Hole Expedition in concert with the Government of Belize and Sir Richard Branson’s Ocean Unite, whose goal is to place the ocean at the forefront of political consciousness.
