Through an ongoing series of expeditions, our multi-disciplinary team is probing the depths of the Bahama Deep 'in search of' better understanding our Blue Planet, and ourselves. Expeditions are organized into thematic units, with each bringing a critical message and body of knowledge back for public consumption.
About Bahama Deep
The island nation of the Bahamas rests atop a carbonate platform, with deepwater trenches flanking the margins of the island chain. Shear vertical walls line these deep trenches, providing a gateway from the shallow fore reef to the edge of the abyss. Given the remoteness and limited infrastructure of the region, scientific exploration of the deep reefs from 50 to 150 meters depth (mesophotic zone) is only at its infancy. Yet this is a critical environment to explore, as it provides insight into our past, present, and future...
