While exploring never before seen parts of the seafloor, far from shore the Nautilus team works to gather as much knowledge as possible. In addition to video captured and observational data logged, another important record of Nautilus’ explorations are the physical samples collected. Using Hercules’ many tools, including the manipulator arm, push cores, slurp sampler, or Niskin bottles, the Corps of Exploration collects water, rock, and biological samples with ROV Hercules to help characterize the species, geologic foundation, and habitats we encounter. During NA137, the team completed eight dives, within the Kingman Reef & Palmyra Atoll EEZ with the majority in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. Spending 134 hours in water the team collected 106 samples, which will be analyzed by experts in Hawai’i and around the world for years to come.
