Join us from March 2-7, 2008 as Immersion Presents explores the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Monterey, California. Using the R/V Fulmar, the expedition team will explore many of the region's fascinating ecosystems--including estuaries, kelp forests, and submarine canyons. The team will focus on a variety of research and monitoring projects aimed at better understanding and managing the rich marine resources of the sanctuary. Expedition scientists will also study the role that currents, shared habitats, and key species play in connecting the Monterey Bay Sanctuary with adjacent sanctuaries and the open ocean. Live broadcasts can be viewed at any of our Immersion Sites, via internet2, or on our Web site during five broadcasts each day.
