Okeanos Explorer (EX1905L2): New England and Canada (ROV and Mapping) (EK60). This 21-day expedition leg will start in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on August 26, 2019, and end in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, on September 15, 2019. The expedition will include 24-hour-a-day operations, including daytime ROV dives to depths ranging between 250-3,000 meters (~820-9,843 feet), overnight mapping operations to depths of 5,000 meters (16,404 feet), as well as continuous shore-side participation via telepresence technology. ROV dives will focus on exploring submarine canyons and slope habitats, seamounts, deep-sea coral and sponge communities, midwater habitats, unique geological features, and other poorly known deep-sea habitats. Mapping operations will concentrate on seafloor and water column areas with little or no high-quality sonar data, as well as being used to support ROV operations and identify potential maritime heritage sites. Data collected on this expedition will support the development of habitat suitability models and geohazard models and enhance our understanding of poorly explored deepwater areas offshore of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic, New England, and Nova Scotia.

Okeanos Explorer (EX1905L1): New England and Canada (Mapping) - 2019 (EK60). EX1905L1 will be one of several NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer expeditions in 2018-2020 that will contribute to NOAA's Atlantic Seafloor Partnership for Integrated Research and Exploration (ASPIRE), a major multi-year, multi-national, collaborative ocean exploration program focused on raising our collective knowledge and understanding of the North Atlantic Ocean. The NAO plays a pivotal role to humankind, providing biological and geological resources, ecosystem services, such as seafood production and climate regulation, and a route for trade and travel between Europe and the Americas.
