Join us as we explore poorly known deepwater ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico!
From November 29 to December 21, NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer and partners will be exploring unknown and poorly known deepwater areas of the Gulf of Mexico, collecting baseline information to help better understand this region.
Despite the Gulf of Mexico's proximity to land and the significant industrial footprint in the area, there is still much to learn about this region. The Gulf contains a wide range of habitats and interesting geological features ranging from brine pools to coral gardens and canyons to mud volcanoes. The Gulf also contains significant submerged cultural heritage sites that have yet to be explored. The expedition will help establish a baseline of information in remote regions to catalyze further exploration, research, and management activities.
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!
