A group of international researchers is out in the Bering Sea this summer exploring a world we humans don’t know much about—the deep ocean.
They set out from Unalaska in late July to learn what’s living on the seafloor, miles below the ocean surface.
“Fifty to eighty percent of all species on earth live in the ocean,” said Brandt. “And the deeper we go in the ocean, the less we know about the inhabitants…It’s not easy to identify species from an area that is completely unknown…There is no determination literature.” The species they find varies between sample sites, but the team has been pulling up sponges and brittle stars, carnivorous worms and tiny crustaceans. Many of the creatures are too small to see with the naked eye.
“Scientists have different roles and different expertise. Everybody works on one piece of the puzzle and we can put that together in the end to get a more comprehensive view of the biodiversity.”
