DOSI Deep-Sea Round-Up
This colourful squat lobster, tentatively identified as Galacantha rostrata, was seen at 977 m during Dive 09 of the Windows to the Deep 2021 expedition. Image courtesy of NOAA Ocean Exploration. More deep-sea photos shared through DOSI can be found on our Flickr page. You can share your own amazing images through the Round-Up here.
Today’s Round-Up includes new research on blue carbon storage, Antarctic corals, and biodegradable plastics in the deep ocean. There’s also a new, searchable edition of the Benthic deep-water animal identification guide published by NOAA Ocean Exploration, so make sure to take a look! Opportunities include a volunteer co-leadership role with DOSI’s Marine Genetic Resources Working Group, while our Events section features the last chance to register for COBRA’s webinar on potential impacts of deep-sea mining on microbial ecosystem services.
