Okeanos Explorer (EX1101): Exploring California Seamounts and Archaeological Sites Overview Map

Following a ship shakedown and mapping patch test, the EX conducted high-resolution multibeam mapping and water column exploration with CTD operations on seamounts and archaeological targets identified by the Sanctuary West Coast region and NMFS scientists. Shore-based scientists were able to work simultaneously with the ship via telepresence.
