NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer

NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer is a research vessel operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) dedicated to exploring the deep ocean. It features advanced technology and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to conduct underwater investigations, mapping, and collecting data on marine life and ecosystems. The ship's mission is to expand our understanding of the ocean's biodiversity and geological features, often sharing findings with the public in real-time. This helps inform conservation efforts and fosters global collaboration in marine research.
