Our Blue Planet

Our oceans cover more than 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface and share close relationships with our rivers and freshwater reserves. Covering about 70% of the earth’s surface, our seas supply half the oxygen we breathe, and provide food and livelihoods for more than a billion people.

They are also home to over 260,000 species of wondrous creatures and scientists believe there are more than a million species in the seas. However, unscientific human exploitation is driving many creatures to extinction before we have had a chance to even learn about them.

Our oceans and riverine systems serve as vital ecosystems supporting life on Earth while playing a crucial role in global commerce, economy, security, and maritime development. Yet despite this, we know more about outer space than our own oceans, with more detailed maps of Venus and Mars than our planet’s seabeds.

Dedicated to Underwater Domain Awareness

As a think tank and a registered not-for-profit organization (Section-8 company), the Maritime Research Center (MRC) is dedicated towards promotion of Underwater Domain Awareness (UDA). Over the years, MRC has emerged as a platform of national and regional significance, fostering dialogue and cooperation amongst stakeholders from Maritime Security, Blue Economy, Marine Environment, Disaster Management and Research & Innovation.
The MRC has drafted a comprehensive framework towards Underwater Domain Awareness (UDA) which has been wholeheartedly embraced by key stakeholders for driving discourse and affirmative action.

As a think tank, MRC has collaborated with the brightest minds from Maritime, Science and Technology, Underwater research and Blue Ocean strategy to evolve actionable insights for nations. Translating these insights into reality is made possible with MRC’s Centers of Underwater Excellence founded in collaboration with leading organizations. It is here that insights are converted into action and translated into tangible products, strategies, policies and human skills that go into making our blue planet more safe and sustainable as well as better understood and explored.
