Projects.

A 37-meter expeditionary vessel in preparation. It will serve all three programs in remote maritime environments: archaeology and cultural heritage, scientific research and environmental stewardship, and humanitarian work.

Protecting lives, livelihoods, and marine ecosystems begins with understanding what is happening at sea.

With Ortheus, Five Oceans is building maritime domain awareness for coastal and Indigenous communities. The work ahead is to help partners see activity in their waters that bears on illegal fishing, wildlife smuggling, human trafficking, food security, and people moving across maritime routes, and to turn that information into humanitarian response and protection of the resources those communities depend on.

Philanthropic support can bring these tools to organizations and communities that do not yet have them, together with local knowledge.

Building qualified partnerships for responsible underwater archaeology, remote survey, and the documentation of maritime history, with conservation and host-nation collaboration built into mission design.

Developing locally informed projects that draw on Tommy Allen's record of more than 200 expeditions across Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, with an emphasis on community resilience, cultural preservation, and responsible access.

Supporting maritime, archaeological, and community-led initiatives across island and coastal environments where distance, logistics, and climate create persistent barriers. Artificial intelligence for this work is in development with Ortheus, our technology partner.

Exploring partnerships centered on cultural documentation, archaeological inquiry, and community priorities across historically significant and operationally challenging landscapes.
