Join us as we explore the poorly known deepwater ecosystems off of North Carolina and Georgia!
Deep-sea habitats along the U.S. continental margin host complex, rugged seafloor features that include submarine canyons, cold seeps, and deep-sea coral forests. These ecosystems support biologically diverse communities that are poorly understood.
From September 11 - 28, 2017, ocean scientists will use a combination of mapping, water column profiling and sampling to improve knowledge of the geology of the region, the types of communities found on the seafloor, and the mid-water communities that interact with them.
An Exploration for Educators webpage includes information for educators about why we are exploring this region, standards-based lessons, videos, topical theme pages and much more!
