CURAÇAO | PROTEUS FIRST HOME

An Ideal Location
for Marine Research

Curaçao, first favored jurisdiction of PROTEUS™, is an ideal location for marine research. Its accessible coral reefs and incredibly rich biodiverse marine ecosystems create an abundant ‘playground’ for researchers.

PROTEUS™ will directly benefit Curaçao’s economic growth and help advance sustainability, scientific research, and innovation for the island. PROTEUS™ will enable industry, academia, and government to connect and contribute to the development, prosperity and partnership growth in the region.

The continuous human presence on the ocean floor, coupled with cutting edge technologies, will make this reef in Curaçao one of the most well-studied coral reefs on the planet. Curaçao is home to one of the few remaining Caribbean reefs that is still growing, providing scientists unique access to one of the region’s healthiest coral ecosystems. PROTEUS™’s scientists have already installed a suite of sensors to capture variables ranging from temperature to water quality to the acoustic environment with the goal of building toward an extensive network that will inform conservation approaches to benefit Curaçao's coral reefs.
