The Lifeboat Project

The Lifeboat Project Coral Triangle Conservancy is a philanthropic venture to conserve coral reefs via networks of marine protected areas.

Coral Triangle Conservancy is a not for profit organization founded in 2009 based in Manila, Philippines and operating under the corporate entity of the Coral Triangle Conservancy Inc. Our primary objectives are to: 1) Establish networks of No-Take, Enforced, Old, Large, Isolated (NEOLI) marine sanctuaries, 2) expand public awareness of unsustainable commercial fishing practices, and 3) rehabilit

ate coral reefs that have been destroyed by a combination of destructive human activities. The programs include: 1) fish and coral nurseries that increase food supply and insure biodiversity, 2) sustainable ecoventures for environmental conscious participants and research students, 3) alternative livelihood and community development by engaging all stakeholders to build long lasting partnerships.

Norway has officially announced a monumental shift in its maritime industry by converting its entire fishing fleet of 6,000 vessels to hydrogen power. This ambitious initiative effectively ends the nation's long-standing dependency on diesel across Norwegian waters, setting a global precedent for sustainable industrial practices. By leveraging hydrogen fuel cell technology, the transition eliminates carbon emissions and reduces the ecological footprint of one of the country's most vital economic sectors.

The move aligns with Norway's broader commitment to climate goals and showcases the practical scalability of renewable energy in heavy-duty maritime transport. While the logistical feat of retrofitting thousands of ships is significant, the long-term benefits include cleaner oceans and a resilient, future-proof fishing industry. This transition not only reinforces Norway’s leadership in green engineering but also provides a blueprint for other coastal nations looking to decarbonize their maritime operations and protect marine biodiversity for future generations.

The newly developed Autonomous, Directional Acoustic Profiling Float for Soundscape Characterization doesn't just listen to the ocean — it runs on it! During its final demonstration, it used the thermal energy of the ocean to power 54 successful dives. By enabling sustained exploration of poorly understood deepwater soundscapes, this float can expand the breadth of our deep-ocean knowledge, support biological and hazards monitoring, and inform management and mitigation of ocean noise to eliminate or reduce impacts on marine life.
