The 2024 season comes to an end. These are some of the most spectacular moments captured by MBARI’s remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Ventana this year. These fascinating finds underscore the dazzling diversity of life in the deep. MBARI’s continued development of innovative ocean technology allows our researchers to explore the largest, and least explored, habitat on the planet—the deep sea. Our work is revealing our close connection to the ocean. We hope the imagery and data that we collect can guide resource managers and policymakers in their decision-making about the ocean and inspire the public to speak up for protecting marine life and the ecosystems they call home. We invite everyone to join us on this journey of exploration, science, and stewardship.
