Founded in 1966, the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) is a learned society connecting professionals and enthusiasts in underwater technology, marine science, and offshore engineering. The SUT provides platforms for knowledge exchange— including events, training, publications and Special Interest Groups—fostering collaboration between industry, academia and policy. The SUT drives innovation, supports career development and promotes responsible and sustainable use of the ocean. Through the SUT’s international branch network, they engage students, early career professionals and corporate partners to share expertise, advance best practice, and shape the future of underwater industries, reflecting the SUT’s commitment to collaboration, inclusivity, and impact.

Country/Region: Sri Lanka

Earthlanka Youth Network organization started running in 2009. We were the first youth ever to do a side event in a COP UNFCCC for Sri Lanka, and we carried out a campaign for UNFCCC called the Make It Green Again campaign, producing a nature song from Sri Lanka.

Our organization started another project on conserving marine resources in Sri-Lanka where a young research team was trained to monitor, educate, and engage communities for marine conservation. This project, known as Poseidon Army, was initiated for the Marine Research & Conservation program, a cohort of youth who will work towards community development in coastal areas, bringing concerns on sustainable development in Sri Lanka, uplifting the tourism industry & engaging in Action planning at the national level on marine resources. The youth co-group was working with local and international marine researchers for conservation efforts and to establish marine sanctuaries.

Since 2015, this youth team has been working voluntarily and has continued activities in the Southern, Western, and Eastern coastal belts in the country. All the youth members are PADI certified and trained in Coastal and Marine Ecology restoration, Community-based ocean Education, Coastal and Reef debris cleaning, Developing TOT for School Teachers in Marine Education, Blue Flag Beach implementation, Local Fishery Harbor Management, Maintaining turtle hatcheries, Empowering women in ocean science, ocean-based research, policy and advocacy.
