The depth of this research is staggering. In 2024 alone, CARMABI broke records for the number of peer-reviewed scientific publications, welcomed over 213,000 visitors to its national parks, and expanded collaborations with international partners such as the Proteus Ocean Group. In one recent expedition, an international team of marine scientists from Inkfish Expeditions, the California Academy of Sciences, and CARMABI explored mesophotic coral ecosystems down to 150 meters deep and reached depths of approximately 700 meters—roughly twice the height of Mount Christoffel—studying life forms adapted to complete darkness and extreme pressure. The educational materials from this expedition—videos, posters, and lesson plans available in Papiamentu and English—have been developed for secondary schools, bringing the deep sea directly into classrooms and making cutting-edge science accessible to local youth.
