Living Oceans’ Finding Coral expedition sails in June 2009
Given that I have a PhD in Environmental Studies, anything to do with water, marine ecosystems and research always catches my attention. Recently, Living Oceans (a local environmental NGO) contacted me to let me know about their Finding Coral expedition.
From their website:
Living Oceans Society is excited to announce the launch of our Finding Coral Expedition on June 8th. The expedition will use two mini subs to explore deep sea corals in Hecate Strait and the Queen Charlotte Basin. The subs will be piloted by Jennifer Lash, our Executive Director, and a blue ribbon science team who will dive to depths of up to 500 meters to gather evidence of corals, associated species, and damage from human impacts.
To find out more about this expedition, check out their website. And to find out more about Living Oceans, you can go over their website. Living Oceans
