Tektite Project

The Tektite Project was an underwater research initiative conducted in the late 1960s and early 1970s, designed to study the effects of long-duration stays in a marine environment. Scientists lived in an underwater habitat for extended periods to explore issues like human physiology, marine biology, and the challenges of oceanic living. This project provided valuable insights into human adaptability, underwater operations, and potential future applications for underwater exploration, research, and even space missions. The Tektite Project highlighted the importance of teamwork, mental health, and environmental awareness in confined living situations.
