I love MBARI UA-cam channel!!!!! It's my dream to go that deep into the ocean and study those beautiful creatures. I am very interested in how one can get the opportunity to do so. Or get into the field which will allow me to study that deep in a submersible. If you would be so kind as to give me some information about that I would be most grateful.
Same here. Studying the deep ocean and it's amazing creatures is my dream job and has been ever since I was a little girl. These animals just fascinate me to no end!
Although the rover weighs more than a ton in air, buoyant foam panels reduce that to 45 kg (100 pounds) in water. It does very little damage to the animals on the seafloor and we have even observed sea pens popping up after the rover rolled over it.

The study of, preservation of, and the ocean itself has always fascinated me. A quick question though, isn't the rover a bit of a harmful tool? That tread steamrolling across the deep seabed surely interferes with numerous aspects, including the sea life and environment down there, no? Even in scuba one of the first lessons taught is to not touch any of the environment of it can be avoided in order to maintain and protect. Doesn't that tread do the full opposite, especially if used for study, where interaction with the subject matter should be absolutely minimal?

Awesome!
How do they make sure they aren't running over any animals in that steam-roller machine?

Ahhhh, of course. I didn't consider the number of atmospheres on it at those depths!
Around 28 seconds in, I'm pretty sure she means 19th century.
I don't like the ocean full of yukies in it that God created - but I am scared of them.
Super interesting though without going near the yukies :D
What are the names of the animals at 2:20 and 4:41?
The sea cucumber (holothurian) at 2:20 is Oneirophanta mutabilis and the one at the end is called Psychropotes longicauda.
MBARI Thank you!
What's that at 2:28? I cant understand if it's a bone or an animal.
