Did you know scientists <\/strong>use marine life<\/strong> to map the sea<\/strong>? Oceanographers <\/strong>safely attach cameras<\/strong> to different species<\/strong> to help us understand<\/strong> our changing ocean<\/strong> through the eyes of animals<\/strong>. In 2022, tiger sharks<\/strong> helped map the Bahamas Banks’ seagrass meadows <\/strong>faster, they captured miles of underwater video<\/strong> that couldn’t be achieved by human scuba divers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore the deep depths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The intense pressure <\/strong>in the deep ocean<\/strong> makes it impossible for humans<\/strong> to go there unaided<\/strong>. Remote-operated<\/strong> vehicles allow us to explore more of the ocean floor<\/strong> than ever before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But did you know 98% of the ocean<\/strong> is in pitch darkness<\/strong>? It is estimated we’ve only seen 0.001%<\/strong> of the deep seafloor<\/strong>. There’s still so much <\/em>wonder<\/strong> to uncover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
