PacificReefs2011: Ocean Exploration and Biotechnology on the Reefs of Palau between 20110219 and 20110304
This expedition represents the culmination of ongoing
collaboration between National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology-
Ocean Biotechnology Center and Repository and University of New Hampshire
explorers that use technical diving to characterize deep reef communities and to
assess the organisms for their biotechnology potential. Marc Slattery and
company have experience working in the twilight zone of the Bahamas and Cayman
Islands, and preliminary data from these studies indicate that the deep reef
sponges are significantly more bioactive and biodiverse than the surrounding
shallow reefs. To date, the Indo-Pacific deep reefs have been relatively
unexplored despite the fact that this region encompasses far more biodiversity
than the Caribbean.
