deepwater exploration
Deepwater exploration refers to the scientific investigation and resource extraction of areas in oceans or seas that are typically deeper than 1,500 meters (about 4,920 feet). This process involves using advanced technology, such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and submersibles, to study marine ecosystems, geological formations, and potential resources like oil and gas. Researchers aim to understand the unique habitats found at these depths, while industries seek to tap into valuable resources. As interest in renewable energy grows, deepwater exploration also includes studying underwater currents and renewable energy potentials, like offshore wind and tidal energy.
