NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer is an excellent platform for providing the next generation of ocean explorers the opportunity to learn more about ocean exploration and put their skills and knowledge to the test. Here, engineering interns Jonathan Allen (left) and Evan Spalding (right) with the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration pose with a “bioluminescence agitator” that they built to deploy on remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer for the purpose of encouraging deep-sea animals to show us their bioluminescence.
