The research vessel Pelican will leave Cocodrie, Louisiana with scientists to assess the long-term impacts of oil and gas released in the Gulf of Mexico, and to learn more about how microbes may play a role in their natural degradation. The team will be using the remotely operated vehicle Global Explorer to service, recover, and deploy instruments in the northern Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast.
