EXHIBIT ONE: THE DEEP SEA
The World Ocean Observatory (W2O) and Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) collaborated to launch a first-of-its-kind virtual aquarium exhibit, utilizing astonishing video of newly discovered deep-sea ocean species and environments collected during expeditions aboard research vessel Falkor with the underwater robot, (ROV) SuBastian. The World Ocean Explorer DEEP SEA Exhibit is an online interactive platform highlighting the biological and geological finds of the cruises by Schmidt Ocean Institute. The online exhibit encourages users to learn about and interact with deep-sea organisms not otherwise available in a traditional aquarium setting.
