Dear Educators,

Recently, WhaleTimes joined Amy Baco-Taylor (Florida State University), Brendan Roark (Texas A&M University), and Katie Shamberger (Texas A&M University) to explore newly discovered deep-sea coral reefs off the coast of Hawaii. Way off the coast!

As the Jason ROV explored the depths, it sent live video footage to the Science Team. Plus, it collected coral and water samples to help the scientists learn more. WhaleTimes helped share this amazing and exciting research through live ship to shore events, school visits and activities.

Even though you might have missed the research cruise, you can still share this exciting research through WhaleTimes’ SeaMails, Explorer Mini-Posters and collector cards,  mini-books, and E-Books. You can find these on our activity page.

Enjoy,

Jake, the SeaDog
