The Underwater United States: Exploring life and ecosystems in the U.S. exclusive economic zone

Join us for a deep dive into a seldom-seen part of U.S. territory that is 1.5 time the size of the country’s continental landmass.

Introduction by Kisha Santiago-Martinez, Chair, MARCO Management Board, and Deputy Secretary of State for Development, Planning, and Community Infrastructure at N.Y. State Department of State.

Tim Shank, Associate Scientist and Deep-sea Biologist, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will share images, videos, and insights from seafloor canyons off the U. S. East Coast that contain dramatic topography, diverse ecosystems, and abundant life, much of which is hidden from view beneath the ocean surface.

Research partly funded by MARCO and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
