Rising from the Depths Funded Projects

So far, the Rising from the Depths Network has funded 28 projects across Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique and Tanzania. The map above shows where our projects are located. Click on a project to take you through to their project page to learn more.

The Rising from the Depths Network has run three open calls for Funded Projects. We have funded a wide range of projects to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of research into Marine Cultural Heritage that is happening in East Africa.

Each funded project is supported by a member of the main Co-I team who supports their project and helps to create networks across projects.
