Sound, Environment & Aquatic Species Research Program (SEAS)

The Sound, Environment & Aquatic Species Research Program (SEAS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting independent scientific research to fill critical information gaps and safeguard aquatic ecosystems while meeting global human demands. SEAS provides new scientific data to help ensure environmental stewardship, mitigation, conservation, and regulatory decisions are grounded in repeatable, independent science.

Why SEAS?

Independent, critical scientific research
Environmental, regulatory, and policy relevance

Program Highlights

Independent Scientific Research: Addresses critical information gaps and builds the scientific foundation needed to support informed environmental and regulatory decisions.
Aquatic Ecosystem Protection: Advances research that supports sustainable practices and safeguards aquatic ecosystems while recognizing global human demands.
Current Research: SEAS is studying balaenopterid whale species in the Caribbean region through a multi-method approach that includes desktop review, eDNA sampling, and passive acoustic monitoring.
