Since Aquasearch was founded, we have always developed fundamental research topics in order to expand knowledge about rare species, better understand species that have already been studied, and thus better preserve the marine ecosystem.
Aquasearch is currently working with several public and private scientific partners on knowledge acquisition projects. These projects also provide an opportunity to involve university partners and thus contribute to the training of graduate students.
