Over 95 percent of the inhabitable volume of the planet is the water column,
so really helpful to be able to come out and image these animals.
So, today we're diving in the Jarvis Unit of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument.
This is one of the few units of the monument where the water column is protected in addition to the seafloor.
Pretty much everything about the ocean here is quite under-sampled, but in particular, these water column areas.
Are probably the first dives like this that have ever been done, so this is a really neat opportunity to see what's out here.
