Dive Under the Surface into the World of Ocean Exploration
Welcome to the 2023 International SeaPerch Challenge! This year, we’ll see 148 teams from 5 continents join us at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Ocean explorers use innovative technologies to fill gaps in our basic understanding of how we impact the ocean and how the ocean impacts us. This knowledge helps us to protect ocean health, sustainably manage our marine resources, accelerate our national economy, better understand our changing environment, and enhance appreciation of the importance of the ocean in our everyday lives. The 2023 International SeaPerch Challenge is inspired by these technologies.
We are pleased to announce an exciting partnership with NOAA Ocean Exploration and the Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute (OECI) for the 2023 season theme of ocean exploration.
