Millions of people live along the U.S. East Coast, yet we know so very little about the deepwaters just offshore. During the Windows to the Deep 2018 expedition, we explored areas that had never been explored before, addressing the needs of the science and resource management communities, changing our expectations about what lies deep in the ocean off the coast, and helping the general public appreciate the beauty and wonder of what lies in our own deepwater backyard.
