During the NA171 expedition, the team welcomes Orpheus Ocean's Orpheus AUV aboard #EVNautilus for the very first time. The #OrpheusAUV is built to explore #abyssal depths up to 6,000 meters, including the #abyssalplain, which has been virtually unexplored east of the Trench.

Stronger, better, faster…smaller? WHOI engineers are designing 2 new medium-sized remotely operated vehicles that will be easier + cheaper to deploy. Funded by U.S. National Science Foundation + NOAA, they're part of a broader plan to expand deep-sea access. šŸ“²Get a sneak peek: go.whoi.edu/newrobot

After 9 months of tracking movement of important fishery species through #ChesapeakeBay using acoustic transmitters, NCCOS scientists have downloaded the first installment of data from the loggers. These data will inform management decisions. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/tracking-…
