Expedition Overview: Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary | Nautilus Live

From October 21-31, 2018, E/V Nautilus is partnering with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to characterize habitat, species, and communities of an unexplored, deep-water region of basaltic rocky reef southeast of Davidson Seamount. An inactive volcanic undersea mountain habitat off the coast of central California, Davidson Seamount is one of the largest known seamounts in U.S. waters at 2,280 meters tall--almost as tall as the Sierra Mountains. The seamount has been called "An Oasis in the Deep" in an otherwise flat seafloor, hosting large coral forests, vast sponge fields, crabs, deep-sea fishes, shrimp, basket stars, and high numbers of rare and unidentified benthic species. ----------------------------------- E/V Nautilus is exploring unknown regions of the ocean seeking out new discoveries in biology, geology, and archaeology. Join us 24/7 for live video from the seafloor and to ask questions of our explorers currently aboard Nautilus: www.nautiluslive.org.
