In many places, there is expertise but not technology:
The 2022 Global Deep-Sea Capacity Assessment, surveyed186 countries & territories and received 360 survey respondents from 124 countries & territories.
In every subregion, respondents indicated that the presence of in-country individuals with deep-sea expertise exceeded the availability of deep-sea tools. More access to vessels, DSVs, sensors, and data tools would activate available expertise to conduct locally-led deep-sea exploration and research.
The Assessment serves as a baseline for the technical and human capacity for deep-sea exploration and research in every coastal area with a deep ocean worldwide.
