Exploratory expeditions are either undertaken by Michael for an editorial assignment or research of a new location for future Ocean Geographic Society expeditions. When opportunities arise, only very regular expedition members are invited.
Research expeditions are project driven, routinely scientific and conservation oriented. Some are long term projects such as the Ocean Geographic climate change photographic index in Raja Ampat and Maldives, while some are just one off ventures. Ocean Geographic Society members receive prioritised invitation to such expeditions.
