In 1872 an intrepid team, including SAMS’ founder Sir John Murray, boarded HMS Challenger and began a three-and-a-half-year ocean voyage, not knowing what they might find. The impact of that epic journey changed our relationship with the planet’s oceans forever – marine science was born.
By leaving the most personal of gifts to SAMS, you can enable us to make genuine and positive change to the ever-growing environmental challenges facing us and future generations. A gift left in your Will to SAMS means our researchers and scientists can do even more and even faster; unlocking the incredible power of the seas and enabling us to protect our oceans, for people, for planet.
