NOAA Okeanos Explorer

The NOAA Okeanos Explorer is a research vessel operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) dedicated to exploring the ocean. It uses advanced technology like remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and sonar mapping to study underwater ecosystems, shipwrecks, and geological features in deep waters. The ship’s missions aim to gather data, promote discoveries about marine life, and improve our understanding of ocean health, all while making its findings accessible to the public through live broadcasts and educational outreach. This exploration helps inform conservation efforts and increases awareness of the ocean’s importance to our planet.
