Boaters across the Americas: five research expeditions are looking for vessels!

SeaKeepers is seeking boaters to support five Scientist Led Expeditions across the Americas, with timelines from late October 2026 through summer 2027.

Researchers will be studying deep sea life in Curaçao, whale and ship strike mitigation off Baja California, the American crocodile in Everglades National Park, the endangered Rice's whale in the Gulf, and manta and devil rays in the western North Atlantic. The Curaçao expedition is happening in the last week of October, so we are especially eager to hear from vessels that will be in the area.

If you are looking to do something meaningful with your vessel, this is a chance to be part of real research.

The seals told me to tell you to give them space! 🦭✋

Grey and harbour seals haul out to rest, digest, and nurse their pups, but they are often disturbed when people are nearby. Seals do not get used to us. They stay on high alert, and that chronic stress weakens their immune systems and slows wound healing, which matters even more for harbour seals, whose numbers are already declining through illness.

Yet neither species is protected from disturbance under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The JNCC recommended adding them, a cross party parliamentary committee backed it, and the Government declined in December 2025. The Give Seals Space campaign, led by the UK Seal Alliance, is asking for that decision to be reviewed.

Just another day at the office 🌊💼

For 35 days, researchers surveyed whales, dolphins, sharks, and seabirds across the Caribbean Sea for the Caribbean Cetacean Society’s Calypso Project. They logged eight plus cetacean species and completed one of the first standardized megafauna surveys in the region. Thanks to DISCOVERY Vessel Seeker for carrying this research from start to finish!
