Deep Sea Exploration refers to the investigation and study of the ocean’s depths, typically below 200 meters (656 feet), where light cannot penetrate and where unique ecosystems and geological formations exist. This field encompasses various scientific activities, including the use of submersibles and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to gather data about marine life, underwater geology, and oceanography. Deep sea exploration aims to understand the biodiversity and ecological processes in extreme environments, discover new species, and assess the effects of human activities, such as climate change and pollution, on these remote areas. The knowledge gained from deep sea exploration can also inform conservation efforts and sustainable resource management.
