RUCOOL advances the understanding and predictability of our ocean planet, marine and coastal ecosystems, and fisheries, for a safer,  more resilient, prosperous, and equitable world. Our team is leading transformative  interdisciplinary research, innovating and deploying novel observing technologies, co-developing blue economy solutions, and inspiring and educating future generation

The Sentinel Mission will try to circumnavigate the global ocean following nautical rules by an underwater robot. The goal is to demonstrate new technology developed by Teledyne Marine Inc and promote curiosity of the ocean planet. The mission will use the newly developed Teledyne Marine’s Sentinel autonomous underwater vehicle. Our our goal is to build global unity, contribute scientific discoveries, and inspire a sustainable relationship with our world’s oceans.
