"There are many considerations when designing vessels for scientific activities but it doesn't mean you can't have fun with it or their design. That said, style should not be at the expense of functionality," said Gresham during the presentation.

"We need to inspire the next generation, as it'll take time to find solutions to the problems we face with our oceans," added Flemming.
