Research Project: Deep-Pelagic Nekton Dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico
Students become part of the DEEPEND consortium, a group of deep-sea scientists investigating the biodiversity and distribution of animals in the Gulf of Mexico’s deep-sea ecosystem. The deep is by far the largest affected habitat from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The consortium includes more than 30 scientists from 11 different universities and agencies, led by Dr. Tracey Sutton (Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center).
This lobster larva is just one of the many amazing creatures our Science Team will share with kids around the country during our Creep into the DEEPEND Virtual Research Mission September 28 to October 9.
