NOAA Southeast Deep Coral Initiative

Want to go for a swim? How about down around 1,300 feet? You’re going to need a submarine for that, so unless you’re friends with Elon Musk or James Cameron it’s probably not going to happen, BUT… you CAN go exploring with the crew of the R/V Nancy Foster, which sent down an ROV to check out coral habitat off the coast off west Florida.
