Fernando de Noronha

In collaboration with the Blue Marine Foundation and Instituto Vida no Oceano, the Malizia Explorer will embark on a mission to Fernando de Noronha to document and share the importance of safeguarding Ocean biodiversity. The expedition will support research for the creation of a new Marine Protected Area around nearby deep-sea seamounts, which are ecosystems rich in marine life but increasingly impacted by human activities.

Vital biodiversity data will be collected using BRUVs (Baited Remote Underwater Video), acoustic receivers, plankton sampling, diving surveys and our OceanPack. This research will guide protection measures for sharks, whales and other key species, aiming to ensure the long-term preservation of this unique ecosystem.
