Exploring Deep-Sea Life Beyond Scuba Depths

The deep sea is the largest habitat on our planet. What creatures live there? How do marine biologists study ecosystems that are far beyond the reach of scuba? Explore deep-sea biology research at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, including recent discoveries of many new species in California’s deep “backyard”. Meet some preserved deep-sea specimens. Learn about submersibles, remotely operated vehicles, life on a research ship, and how you can participate in livestreamed oceanographic expeditions.
