    About this project

    M. Marinelli from Project Manaia is responsible for this project
    After years at sea with various NGOs around the world it became obvious there is a huge potential for great ideas and good solutions for the various problems our oceans have out there.
    The one things that is truly missing is the platform for researchers to work from.

    After years of hard work we managed to obtain a sailing catamaran located in Ranong, just off the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar - one of the last truly white spots on the world map and are now aiming to make this boat "SeaNOMAD" a real open research platform with the option of getting researchers on board who can really make a difference with their work.

    Unfortunately travelling in this part of the world comes with a price - fees, visas and food need to be covered to make research in this remote area possible and this is where we turn around to our supporters and hope for your help!

    With about 400 Euros we can keep the boat up and running for one month (compared to more than 10.000 Euros for the regular research ship out there), for about 1000 Euros we can take an extra person on board one of our trips, 3000 Euros would get us a new Mainsail, which is needed soon and with every little donation we get closer to each one of these goals!
