If you think you are an amatuer Oceanographer or Marine Biologist like me ...or even a pro you might find this interesting:
Our family has been following their expedition since we discovered it on our last trip to Mystic Aquarium. Mystic is helping support and share the information with the public. I grew up on Puget Sound and my grandparents lived right on the Pacific in WA and I've always loved exploring salt water bodies and been fascinated by the sea and the life in and around it. Our daughter is showing interest in this direction as well and we find this site very interesting and informative on what goes on during these scientific expeditions.

"This summer, Dr. Robert Ballard, Dr. Katherine Croff Bell, and their team will launch an exciting expedition on the E/V Nautilus to explore ancient history and learn more about the ocean. The expedition will start in the Black Sea in July, continue in the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Atlantic in the summer and fall, and finish in November off the coast of Israel. Nautilus expedition scientists will map the sea floor, study underwater volcanoes, investigate unusual life forms, explore shipwrecks, and more.
The Nautilus expedition is special because it will offer you a chance to take part in ocean exploration history. A satellite dish on the ship will transmit live video and other data from the expedition 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Scientists on shore will use the data to take part in the expedition from afar. But you do not have to be a scientist to share the thrill of discovery. You will be able to hear what Dr. Ballard, Dr. Bell, and their team are saying and view what they are seeing in real time on the Nautilus Live website. Read on to find out more about the plan for each part of the expedition. Nobody knows how the plans will turn out or what kinds of discoveries might be made. So be sure to tune in and find out!"
