Meet Coquitlam
Coquitlam is a 1975 steel sailboat currently being restored in Western Australia.
She is slowly transforming into a floating base in order to:
support marine research, document wildlife, and bring people closer to the ocean.
Coqui is a tool to help the ocean in the best way we know how.
