INFO:

Ocean Exploration Trust (OET) and Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) have spent days diving on the Endeavour Vent Fields and surrounding areas connected to ONC’s NEPTUNE Observatory. ONC’s Endeavour monitoring site is within the Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents Marine Protected Area (MPA) and is well-known for its large smoking chimneys and diverse biodiversity. ONC and OET have provided near-continuous monitoring of hydrothermal vents for over a decade, allowing scientists to study the unique inhabitants of this bustling ecosystem.
