We are happy to welcome media to our sites, on fieldwork and onto our research ships where possible.

NOC Sites
We welcome media visitors to both NOC sites, in Southampton and Liverpool, to film and interview our researchers. Access to the workshops and research facilities at both sites is possible by pre-arrangement. From time-to-time our Research Ships are docked in Southampton, usually while mobilising for the next research expedition, and it is sometimes possible to allow media access during this time. All opportunities to do so will be posted here. We open the doors to the Southampton site once a year to the public, usually on the closest Saturday to World Oceans Day (8 June).
The NOC Southampton has an ISDN line.

Shore-based fieldwork and vehicle deployments
Not all fieldwork takes place on board our research ships, we frequently participate in shore-based activities as well as shore-based deployments of autonomous vehicles. All opportunities to do so will be posted here.
