and welcome to the UV notes we are an
exploration vessel where what a three
world wide that are dedicated
specifically to ocean exploration we
base our research targets off of
priorities identified by the scientific
community in biology geology archaeology
and we have spent the last five months
off the coast of California I heard that
I spent time in a submarine we actually
don’t have some rainbow explain why just
a few minutes but we spend the time off
the coast of west coast from British
Columbia down to San Diego and we are at
deployer with and Bari here look we’ve
probably seen some new equipment that we
use but we do multi-beam active sonar to
see what’s down on the sea floor before
we find our vehicles down so are we for
Cadiz at our workhorse ROV those are
front gearing up to manipulate our arms
to collect samples and place them into
sample boxes to then bring up to a
service we also have HD cameras on
Hercules and then we have partners that
usually trails behind an Argus has again
nice cameras on board to give you kind
of an overview of fish I of you if you
will of the sea floor so those two are
these those are mostly operated vehicles
looks too far getting side of the
clicker there we go okay those two
Roby’s are connected via fiber optic
cable up to the ship where we then get
all that video feed coming into the ship
we deem it up into space to a satellite
where it then comes down to Rhode Island
and we’re able to send that video feed
all around the world so people anywhere
with an internet connection can actually
for deep sea water with us we were
founded in 2008 by dr. robert ballard we
run the novel’s is run by the ocean
exploration trust which is a non-profit
now dr. Ballard manfrotto
the guy who discovered this I can’t
however he prefers to be known as the
guy who discovered this deep sea
hydrothermal vents these are very hot
very chemically rich areas of fusion
that communities of animals has sprung
up nearby creating their own energy
without the power of the Sun pretty cool
stuff it changed when we thought about
life in our oceans and length on the
planet but when you hear dr. Mallory’s
name or you think about bush and
exploration this is usually what you
think of it right looks by the way good
now you mustn’t might think about folks
like this and this is part of our
challenge is that it’s hard to really to
ocean explorations when it’s being done
by legendary figures in the past
encountering these really crazy strange
mythical ants but this is what we’re
trying to make ocean exploration look
like first sound like bacon so mean
Faison and I can’t drop your toy so your
reactions and our actions were exactly
what end up going all over the world we
were picked up by CNN and the headlines
is you can see aren’t necessarily about
this adorable animal I mean they are but
they’re really about our reactions and
that was really interesting for us
because these works i’m just using
georgia technical jargon and they
weren’t necessarily getting all the
information out at the right time and
they certainly got a few things wrong
our engineers and communicators come on
that watch although the office at a
cuddlefish not even thought about squid
until they came downstairs so the point
that we took away from this was that the
reason this this was so compelling for
so many people was because it was we
were watching humans encountering
something that we’ve never seen before
just like all of us at home watching and
that was pretty exciting for us so this
is one of the core principles that we
work towards an i work towards in my
work to show you that ocean exploration
isn’t necessarily William comunist so to
start buying that story of we start
first with people and this is one of our
NOAA scientists getting very excited
about a box but not necessarily face
you’d expect for a no scientist so when
you listen in to our live stream on
Nautilus live you’ll hear a lot of
different people behind the scenes but
you might not necessarily see them so I
want to do a little glimpse and what
that’s like into our control room so if
we saw SW squid we have our science
leaders saying wow that’s cool let’s
take a look we had two ROV pilots who
stopped the vehicles we have navigator
to call the bridge said hey let’s stop
the and here are accordance we had
a video engineer
focus the cameras on the squid we had
our science communication fellow trying
to communicate with the folks at home
and answer questions what we were seeing
how our data logger taking notes deep
still images and then we have our watchu
you’re finding say hey guys this is
really cool but we gotta keep moving so
a lot of different people who all came
together to make this one image possible
to go go into the world and really
capture the imagination of millions
people around her so look background on
how I was out there I came on as a
science communication fellow and after
starting a company to run underwater
robot building workshops for high school
girls and I actually ended up getting
hired on to the ocean exploration trust
team to do digital media so my first two
weeks of job are pretty interesting
thanks to that stuffy squid um but I
wasn’t born in a couple of different
capacities in order to demystify what
was going on on the ship and demystify
the kind of things we were seeing like
this beautiful our basements not house
first-ever interest on house was as even
mentioned in risky marine biology class
security work and because of course get
where else i could hear the term snug
house not exactly a science picture
right so these larvae shins are credible
animals that are actually more closely
related to plus than they are to kellys
the greatest beautiful nets to filter
food out of the water and in telling
these stories that I learned in marine
bio here and then also for many years
from Monterey Bay Aquarium I kind of
became the de facto invertebrate
biologists on board which was really
strange because I’ll tell you right now
that my degree is in the other science
political science but I’ll also tell you
that our ROV pilot that day was when we
saw the sevis quick was actually a fine
arts degree our video engineer creates
water sampling tools while another video
engineer films NASCAR bases the other
educators on board with me want is a
degree in public health and the other
teachers grossed out programs so as you
might have already guessed this is not
your typical research vessel hence
explorations so we bring out people from
all different countries all across
southern country and the hope of course
is that we need to manage model is live
and hear us you might hear or see
someone who you can relate to and that’s
really what we’re trying to communicate
here is the ocean exploration is for
everyone our viewers not only span the
globe but they also span generations we
had folks tuning in grandparents and
grand kids watching it from Missouri
we’ve had a father and son in a hospital
sick bed
tune in a whole watch team of EMTs in
New Jersey who were frequent viewers and
robotic students from South Africa and
litters in New Zealand alternate while
watching the same live feeds from the
deep sea that we were and that’s really
what we’re all about you know we could
be seeing something at the same time as
everyone else it could be new to science
so we’ll go back like and that’s again
really what we’re doing here so those
live streams enable anyone around the
world to join in with us I wonder how to
create a community as between the people
on board and then also live we’re all
watching us and stream which obviously
is really happening in real time and
that provides education opportunity is
only a few select people in tips for
outer space but we can all be ocean
explorers so to all people were
wondering is that stubby squid real my
answer Hugh will always be yes and what
else can you find together so I don’t I
you to join us when we explore fly thank you
