Subsea engineering company and ocean innovator AquaTitans is the latest business to sign up to the Scottish Association for Marine Science’s (SAMS) Ocean Changemakers scheme.

The corporate membership scheme, which has a growing list of companies representing aquaculture to utilities, supports SAMS, as an ocean research charity, in advancing its understanding of marine environments.

This newest sign-up reflects AquaTitans’ commitment to making a positive impact to sustainable oceans, by supporting a charity that is both geographically close and aligned with its own vision that understanding the world’s oceans are the key to protecting them.

Through the partnership, SAMS and AquaTitans can further strengthen Scotland’s marine science community - expanding opportunities for marine research, education, and public engagement across Scotland, and contributing to Scotland’s global leadership in ocean science.

Alan Green, Director of AquaTitans, said: “We were keen to support a charity that combines world‑leading marine science with a strong connection to the communities and environments we work with every day. ‘SAMS’ vision for a healthier ocean, informed by robust scientific evidence, strongly mirrors our own commitment to responsible, innovative and sustainable marine operations. This partnership allows us to give something back while supporting research that will help shape the future of our shared ocean environment.”
