The people who run the programs.

We founded Alarivean in July 2021. The team is spread across the time zones its programs run in, so a question from a Red Sea coast or a Polynesian lagoon is answered inside that coast's own working day.

On the water

Every program adds a second team.

Crews, marine supervisors and instrument technicians are assigned to a program for as long as it runs, and you get to know them — along with the person to telephone when the water turns at three in the morning.

Alongside them we engage the local scientific institutions that already answer for that water: a marine institute, a fisheries directorate, a ministry's own scientists. They hold the same live water-quality feeds our crews steer by, any one of their scientists can halt a pass without asking us first, and they keep the record after the last hull leaves.
