So that tweet did some numbers overnight 😱
Welcome to the new followers! Did you read something that made you think about the #deepsea in a new way & want to see some deep sea science in action? Have I got some live ROV dive sources for ya!
The big 3 groups doing live broadcasts of deepsea science are @EVNautilus, @SchmidtOcean, and @oceanexplorer. @Ocean_Networks also occasionally broadcasts their cabled observatory servicing cruises. Check them out! Summer is when scientists do a lot of work at sea!
