Ocean Exploration Trust
The Ocean Exploration Trust (OET) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing ocean exploration and research. Founded by Dr. Robert Ballard, a renowned oceanographer known for discovering the wreck of the Titanic, OET aims to explore the deep sea and promote scientific understanding of marine environments. The organization operates the research vessel Nautilus, which is equipped with advanced technology for underwater exploration.
OET engages in educational outreach, providing opportunities for students and the public to participate in real-time exploration through live broadcasts and interactive programs. By fostering collaboration among scientists, educators, and the community, the Ocean Exploration Trust seeks to inspire a greater appreciation for the ocean and its vital role in our planet's health.
