From March 7 – 29, 2017, NOAA and partners conducted a telepresence-enabled ocean exploration expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to collect critical baseline information about unknown and poorly known deepwater areas in the Howland and Baker Unit of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument and the Phoenix Islands Protected Area. • In this video, Amanda Demopoulos, research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and co-science lead for the expedition, explains what makes the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument unique and why the data collected during the mission to help build a better understanding of its ecosystems is so important. • Video courtesy of the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, Discovering the Deep: Exploring Remote Pacific MPAs. • Learn more about the expedition here: https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeano...
