Isn’t it just awesome when meeting like-minded people? The instantaneous connection and the direct feeling you need to do stuff together? The energy it produces and the human potential it sets free is amazing.
Looking forward to dive deeper. The Xploration Coastline inclusive partnership and social governance set-up is able to host these open mission driven collaborations.
After all water is a compelling story line for all.

Just awesome! On 15th of June 2023 we opened your Living Lab of Xploration Coastline.
Xplore the #power2water value chain and participate as student, entrepreneur, scientist or policymaker! #EveryoneanXplorer
This inclusive open innovation lab will enable a permanent influx of new ideas, technology and connections.
The living lab operates in support of Xploration Coastline. A concept that produces 1.000.000 liters of portable water every 24 hours from seawater for coastal regions and their livelihoods. The installation is automonously operated from a mobile maritime modular microgrid and is powered by clean energy sources.
Xploration Coastline is an insurance for effective, efficient and sustainable human relief operations. But there is more – the unique social governance of the concept enables SIDS to locally integrate the asset, outside these emergency operations, to support agriculture and resilience.

Xploration Coastline is one of the Xplorations of #OceansX.
Xploration ISAMO has achieved another significant milestone, advancing climate science with a remarkable publication this week in the authoritative PNAS journal for high-impact and original research.
The published study explores the effects of Saharan dust clouds on atmospheric methane and indicates Sahara dust can enhance removal of methane. Its findings have potentially far-reaching implications for understanding the global methane budget and reasons behind the accelerating increase in atmospheric methane.
This accomplishment owes its success to a shared commitment to leverage collective human potential and collaborative exploration towards a common goal, combining the invaluable contributions of passionate seafarers, atmospheric observatories and dedicated scientists in Europe and the US, helping advance research by collecting and analyzing over 500 air samples across the North Atlantic.
