Citizen Science: Join the Mission. Fuel the Future.

Have you ever dreamed of life at sea—but your career, your family, or just life got in the way?

As part of the E.A.R Foundation, Audax Ventus believes it’s never too late to live the mission.

Through our Citizen Science Fellowship Program, donors have the rare opportunity to sail with us—transforming their support into direct action. Whether through a one-time gift or as a monthly patron, your contribution fuels bold expeditions, Indigenous-led research, youth access programs, and the vessel that carries it all forward.


This isn’t armchair advocacy.
This is action.


Your Support Drives:

  • Expeditions to protect endangered ecosystems
  • Programs connecting students and elders to real-time science
  • Tools and technologies that make our work safer, smarter, and more impactful
     

Your Impact in Action

Every dollar you give powers:

  • Environmental and biodiversity research in at-risk ecosystems
  • Off-grid upgrades like solar, batteries, and water systems
  • Indigenous partnerships and co-led fieldwork
  • Educational media for classrooms and children’s hospitals
  • Rapid-response missions to document and deter ecological crimes
