SUMMARY:Virtual Ecosystem Explorer Day - #1 Oceans: Deep Sea Exploration with E/V Nautilus
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual Ecosystem Explorer Day! This is the first virtual event of a four part series that will run during fall and winter of 2023/2024! Our focus will be on ecosystems!  \nExplore the deep sea with us!

In addition to deploying\, recovering\, and providing maintenance for various observatory sensors and instruments via ROV dives\, the team will assisted in scientific seafloor surveys with biological and geological sampling\, including revisiting the spectacular Endeavour hydrothermal vent field. \nThis ship-to-shore interactions will last 30 minutes with time for an expedition update and audience-led Q&A about careers\, discoveries\, or the exploration process. Join us for an evening of ocean discovery! \nThe event will take place on Zoom. Click here to register!  \nThis event is for NatureKids BC members. Become a member today! \n
