Description:From March 7 to 29, 2017, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER) and partners conducted a 23-day, telepresence-enabled expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to collect critical baseline data and information about unknown and poorly understood deepwater areas surrounding the Howland and Baker Unit of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (PRIMNM), the Republic of Kiribati’s Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA), and around New Zealand’s Territory of Tokelau as a part of a three-year Campaign to Address Pacific monument Science, Technology, and Ocean NEeds (CAPSTONE). The goal of the expedition was to use remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives in combination with mapping operations to increase scientific understanding of deep-sea ecosystems of this region, as well as to provide a foundation of publicly-accessible data to support further exploration, research, and management activities.
