PROJECT STAGES

our goals in 3 stages....

Foundation and data set building

From 2017 - 2022, Indo Ocean Project established an excellent foundation in research and created the standardised training program. The COVID-19 pandemic put a pause to the internship program from March 2020 - February 2021 but the ground team never stopped developing and improving. We dedicated this time improving our internship program to provide the best training in both professional SCUBA diving and research diving techniques

We developed our research and brought on several ongoing projects to round out our baseline data portfolio for a comprehensive assessment of our regions of study.

We designed our program to create a quantifiable skill level among our field researchers, narrowing the scale of deviation in the peer review process.

We developed collaborations with local and foreign universities, NGO's, government agencies, and local stakeholders. We obtained the correct permits and licenses to conduct our work legally and ethically in Indonesia.
