Earthrace Conservation

Earthrace Conservation Welcome to the official page for Earthrace Conservation. These are normally in partnership with government agencies.

We help countries protect their National Parks through patrols, training, technology, and various assets that are provided free-of-charge to government agencies. We have a 45m ship, military UAV, tactical boats, and a team of dedicated professionals running both maritime and terrestrial patrols. We target wildlife poaching, illegal mining, illegal logging, and illegal fishing. I am Executive Producer of a conservation TV show (The Operatives), published author of two books (Whale Warrior, Earthrace), public speaker, and father of two daughters.

700 nautical miles in 5 days! Successful science expedition to Costa Rica’s Thermal Dome with Fundación MarViva.

🌊 Together, we deployed 2 argo floats beyond the 300-mile limit in international waters. These instruments will measure data on temperature, salinity, pressure, and ocean health from one of the Pacific’s most productive and biodiverse regions.

👏 Proud of the scientists and crew aboard MODOC who helped make it happen.
