Explorers discover northernmost Atlantic seeps, deep-sea canyon diversity, off U.S. Northeast
Description: Ocean explorers on the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer discovered a wide diversity of seafloor features and communities of life in the largely unexplored deep-sea canyons off the northeast U.S. coast. Canyons represent some of the most striking features of the continental slope off the U.S. East Coast and may also be among the most productive areas in the deep sea. [Source: NOAA News]
