If shipwrecks are your thing and you're a current/recent graduate student who would like to contribute to NOAA Ocean Exploration's maritime heritage activities, we have an internship opportunity that might be of interest! This paid summer experience will include annotating video from past shipwreck remotely operated vehicle dives and writing National Register of Historic Places eligibility determinations, for starters. Deadline to apply is January 31. More info: https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/ok

Happy #OceanExplorationDay! Despite being one of the largest living spaces on the planet and playing a vital role in our everyday lives and Earth’s overall ecosystem, the deep ocean remains largely unexplored. Ocean exploration allows us to increase understanding and in turn more effectively manage, conserve, and use ocean resources that are so vital to us all. On Ocean Exploration Day, take some time to learn more about what makes the ocean, in particular the deep ocean, so important to explore

Today (March 26) is the final dive of the Beyond the Blue: 2025 ROV and Mapping Shakedown expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. Today's dive will focus on engineering objectives and take place at a depth of approximately 1,100 meters (3,610 feet) off the western coast of Oʻahu. We're on the seafloor (after encountering the slowly swimming sea cucumber in the video during our descent).

As of June 2024, only 26% of the global ocean floor has been mapped. NOAA Ocean Exploration uses high resolution technology to map the ocean floor. Although 52% of the U.S. ocean floor has been mapped, the U.S. seafloor is larger than all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five territories combined.

Wait for it... The deep ocean is often full of surprises! Maybe not all of them involve an Atlantic Midshipman ambushing a barracudina off the coast of North Carolina, but almost every time we descend to explore the ocean's depths, we learn something new...and there's still so much left to discover.

Why do we explore the ocean? - NOAA Ocean Exploration

As things continue to ramp up for ocean exploration in 2023, we'd like to take a moment to reflect back on all of the activities, discoveries, partnerships, and outreach that made 2022 such a great year: https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/about/annual-reports/annual-report22/annual-report-2022.html.

Ocean Month: Discovering our ocean through monitoring, observation, and exploration - NOAA Research

The depths of the ocean – deep, dark, cold, under intense pressure, and limited in food. And yet life thrives there. Throughout June, we’ll be diving into deep-ocean habitats and shedding some light on the extraordinary creatures that live there. #WorldOceanDay https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/news/exploration-extras/24-national-ocean-month/welcome.html | NOAA Ocean Exploration

NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer is headed back to the surface after exploring the unexplored Intercanyon Ridge. To prepare for our dive tomorrow surveying a sonar anomaly that might be a shipwreck, let's revisit the first wreck dive of the Windows to the Deep 2018 expedition. Tune in tomorrow as we investigate this sonar anomaly around 9 am ET. | NOAA Ocean Exploration

Yesterday, NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer arrived in Honolulu, Hawai'i, following the successful completion of the Beyond the Blue: Papahānaumokuākea ROV and Mapping expedition. This video includes highlights from our shallowest dive of the expedition, which took us to depths between 360-524 meters (1,181-1,719 feet) on an unnamed seamount northwest of Holanikū (Kure Atoll).

Despite its importance, the majority of our ocean is largely unknown. Through exploration, we’re learning more about the ocean's biological, chemical, physical, geological, and archaeological aspects every day. But before we can truly explore, we must map.

Today’s #Okeanos dive is a go! We’ll be exploring a ridge on Solide Seamount, searching for corals, sponges, fish, and other marine life to gain a better understanding of seamount life and habitat. The dive will start at a depth of 1,280 meters (4,200 feet) and we’ll then work our way towards the summit. We expect to arrive on the seafloor at 9:10 a.m. HST / 3:10 p.m. EDT and stay there until approximately 3:40 p.m. HST / 9:40 p.m. EDT. Watch LIVE: https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/explorat

How do explorers chart the seafloor under miles of ocean? With bathymetric or “wet” maps! We bounce sonar off the seabed to build a detailed picture of an area’s shape. That data then helps us identify and map all kinds of structures, from trenches to undersea mountains. Our website features a lesson plan for teachers to help students understand wet maps and their uses. If you’re not a teacher (but still feeling crafty) why not give it a try yourself? You can find the materials and instructions
