My name is Cody Benton, and I’m from Wilmington, North Carolina. Growing up, I spent a lot of time at the beach surfing and working as a lifeguard, which sparked my interest in coastal oceanography. That interest deepened during my undergraduate studies, where I majored in physics and was exposed to physical oceanography for the first time.
The Sentinel Mission will try to circumnavigate the global ocean following nautical rules by an underwater robot. The goal is to demonstrate new technology developed by Teledyne Marine Inc and promote curiosity of the ocean planet. The mission will use the newly developed Teledyne Marine’s Sentinel autonomous underwater vehicle. Our our goal is to build global unity, contribute scientific discoveries, and inspire a sustainable relationship with our world’s oceans.
