A major function of DiveBorneo is to connect underutilized expertise to the people who need it. Many experienced and highly qualified industry professionals are "prematurely retired" or unable to obtain as much work and as much funding as they need to pursue their vocation. Industry support for R&D has dwindled; largely due to difficulty in maintaining proprietary rights over the results [e.g. in seaweed farm development]. The industry is also tending toward ever greater fragmentation as small to medium sized businesses prove appropriate for the production of seaweed, sea vegetables and seaplant products. The industry has an urgent need for the kind of talent and expertise that is currently under-utilised. DiveBorneo is being developed as a medium through which such expertise can be efficiently and cost-effectively made available to the businesses that need it.

DiveBorneo will help to get you in touch with the experts who can advise and assist you with your seaplant project. No, we can't do it all ourselves but we'll try our best to connect you with the people who can help you to develop your project.
