Description:"The Sustainable Seas Expeditions is a five-year project of underwater exploration and discovery of the marine world with special emphasis on the national marine sanctuaries of the United States. The expeditions are the brainchild of Dr. Sylvia Earle, scholar and Explorer -In-Residence of the National Geographic Society. Led by Dr. Earle, the expeditions are a project of the National Geographic Society in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other government agencies, industry, and private institutions, made possible by a grant from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund. The world renowned National Geographic Society, an institution recognized for over a century of achievement in exploration and conservation, has project oversight. Ship and staff support are provided by NOAA, the federal agency responsible for managing the National Marine Sanctuary Program and known for its extensive experience in marine research, exploration, data acquisition, and product development"--Expedition's report.
"The Sustainable Seas Expeditions will use the DeepWorker one-person submersible and other technologies to explore and conduct research in deep water habitats in NOAA's twelve national marine sanctuaries. The project has been designed so the resulting data and information will help sanctuary, and other natural resource managers, protect this vital, and perhaps least understood, part of our global ecosystem. To supplement exploration and research, a broad set of education and outreach activities will take place at each site."
