WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en-US 00:00:00.860 --> 00:00:04.440 -[Claire] All right, welcome everybody today to our 00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:08.720 NOAA National Marine Sanctuaries Webinar Series. 00:00:09.140 --> 00:00:14.160 I just wanted to take a minute here to provide some space 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.060 to acknowledge that there's a lot going on in our country. 00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:27.740 There's systemic oppression of black people and people of color and just racial injustice, 00:00:27.740 --> 00:00:32.440 so here we are, as federal employees and contractors, continuing to do our job 00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:37.200 but I do want to acknowledge, and our whole team does, that this weighs heavy on all of us, 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.560 and we appreciate you participating in today's webinar. 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.200 We just wanted to make sure to give a little space and time to acknowledge what's happening in our country. 00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:50.240 All right, well with that, I welcome Justin to give our opening. 00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:54.840 -[Justin] All right. Thank You Claire for taking that space, and for your words. 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.600 Welcome everyone to NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Webinar Series. 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.180 For those of you who are new to the series, everyone is in listen-only mode, 00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:09.460 but if you notice in the control panel on the right, you can type in notes in the question box 00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:12.020 and also let us know of any technical problems. 00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:17.660 We are recording this webinar, so it will be available in our archives on our webpage at the end. 00:01:17.660 --> 00:01:21.980 And, if you have any technical issues, do please let us know, 00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:26.320 but I would encourage you to look in the control panel and look at the audio tab 00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:29.560 and make sure you have the correct headphones or speakers selected. 00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:37.800 So before I begin, all of this is made possible by NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.940 We have a short little video I wanna show you, so I'll bring that up. 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:52.880 Do folks see it? 00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:59.540 -[Claire] I think you actually still have to hit play on the bottom so it looks like it's poised and ready. 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:08.080 -[Justin] Okay, let me try again. Thanks folks, this is my first time, so... 00:02:11.350 --> 00:02:13.760 I don't see a play button Claire. 00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:17.480 -[Claire] Yeah I'm... go down and kind of hover your arrow towards the very bottom 00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:21.280 like left side and something should pop up with a play, 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:26.810 but if it doesn't work it was just a short little intro and we skip it. 00:02:26.810 --> 00:02:28.500 -[Justin] Alright, so I'm gonna go ahead and skip that. 00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:38.860 But I did want to welcome all of our attendees. We have folks from all across North America in the United States, 00:02:38.860 --> 00:02:45.260 from Hawai'i to California, Washington DC, Ohio, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Texas, 00:02:45.260 --> 00:02:48.580 North Carolina, and Indiana... and that's just naming a few. 00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:52.620 We also have a lot of international viewers, so welcoming too long a list to go through, 00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:56.630 but just to give you a taste, we have folks from Canada, Jordan, India, 00:02:56.630 --> 00:03:04.820 Greece, Colombia, Serbia, Honduras, Cayman Islands, so welcome everyone from all across the world. 00:03:07.820 --> 00:03:12.500 [refering to the black screen] This was that short video, but you should be seeing a map in front of you now... 00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:15.860 This is our National Marine Sanctuary system. 00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:20.600 -[Claire] So Justin, sorry sorry to interrupt but I think you're in the video drop-down, 00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:24.769 so go back to your main screen and play your presentation. 00:03:24.769 --> 00:03:29.120 -[Justin] Ah, can everyone see now? Is it back in? 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:29.660 -[Claire] Yes. 00:03:29.660 --> 00:03:34.360 -[Justin] Thank you. Thanks for your patience everybody I don't see everything that you're seeing. 00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:40.900 So hopefully you're looking at a map showing a bunch of blue circles and triangles. 00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:43.700 This represents our National Marine Sanctuary system. 00:03:43.700 --> 00:03:50.980 And so, as you can see there are protected places both marine and in the Great Lakes, protected all over. 00:03:50.980 --> 00:03:57.400 I'm going to have you shift your gaze over to the Pacific where you'll notice there's American Samoa 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:03.650 and also several protected areas in Hawai'i. I'm gonna be introducing myself so if 00:04:03.650 --> 00:04:05.093 you can take a look at Hawai'i. 00:04:05.093 --> 00:04:09.880 And you notice that giant boundary line, that is Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. 00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:20.350 And I work for... as soon as my slide goes forward.. there we go... 00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:25.780 I work for Mokupāpapa Discovery Center through the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. 00:04:25.780 --> 00:04:33.440 I'm an educational specialist there, and our job is to be a window into that remote marine national monument 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:37.060 called Papahānaumokuākea, that protects the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. 00:04:37.060 --> 00:04:41.080 Joining me, as she was kind enough to open for us, is Claire Fackler. 00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:45.920 She is the National Education Liaison for NOAAʻs Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.672 And before we go, before I introduce our host, 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.640 I just wanted to show you a couple quick slides on what our national sanctuaries protect. 00:04:53.640 --> 00:04:58.300 So many of these areas are key areas for biodiversity. 00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:01.320 They protect our maritime heritage, 00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:04.960 also cultural heritage for many different places. 00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:08.280 They provide shelter for a lot of endangered and threatened species. 00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:12.940 This is actually a picture of those Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in Papahānaumokuākea. 00:05:12.940 --> 00:05:15.880 With a green sea turtle and a Hawaiian monk seal. 00:05:15.880 --> 00:05:20.300 And theyʻre also a great place for education. We have, like this distance learning program, 00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:26.620 many different education programs, and our sanctuaries bring us together to learn and protect our ocean. 00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:30.360 We also have a lot of fun outreach, as we can do that safely now, 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.560 and it's also, these are sites for research, for monitoring those resources, 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.980 and ultimately learning how we can best protect these resources into perpetuity. 00:05:41.580 --> 00:05:45.980 And ultimately, they're a place for us to visit and engage with. 00:05:45.980 --> 00:05:53.340 Through kayaking, diving, surfing, wildlife viewing, and ultimately volunteering. 00:05:53.340 --> 00:06:00.100 And as we're able to gather again we depend on all of us to come together to protect these special places. 00:06:00.580 --> 00:06:07.800 So without further ado, I'm going to introduce our presenter, another very experienced webinar person, 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:13.920 Hannah MacDonald is going to be presenting on diving into our telepresence education programs. 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.520 She is an education specialist for the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation 00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:21.960 in support of NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. 00:06:22.200 --> 00:06:27.200 Hannah has a background in environmental education, stewardship and advocacy. 00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:32.060 In her position with Sanctuaries, Hannah leads the distance learning effort for students 00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:38.800 using virtual reality as a tool in education and outreach. Hannah strives to connect people anywhere 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.110 to marine environments through technologies like telepresence and virtual reality. 00:06:44.110 --> 00:06:48.840 So with that said, I'm going to hand off control to Hannah. 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.700 -[Claire] I beat you to it, sorry Justin. 00:06:54.700 --> 00:06:55.798 -[Justin] Thank you. 00:06:55.798 --> 00:06:58.900 -[Hannah] Thank you so much Justin and Claire for the great introduction. 00:06:58.900 --> 00:07:04.820 Are you seeing my full widescreen mode or is my slide cut off it is cut off? 00:07:04.820 --> 00:07:09.980 -[Claire] It is cut off, that is interesting. We, I do have your slide as a PDF as backup 00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:11.780 if we end up having to go that route. 00:07:11.780 --> 00:07:14.080 -[Hannah] I'll try to do this is. Is that better? 00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:15.260 -[Claire] Yep, perfect. 00:07:15.260 --> 00:07:23.040 -[Hannah] Awesome. Great, well thank you both again for inviting me on, and as Justin mentioned, 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.680 I am the Education Specialist with NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.720 and I'm here to talk to you about ocean exploration. 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.720 I'll tell you a little bit more about my role in ocean exploration. 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.420 You'll notice I am no scientist, no expert in the deep sea, 00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:44.700 but I've been able to connect with the deep ocean through ship-to-shore programs. 00:07:44.700 --> 00:07:49.720 And to get us started I want to do a little bit of an overview of what it takes 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.740 to put on an ocean or Great Lakes exploration mission. 00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:56.960 So here we have some of the biology of the deep-sea, 00:07:56.960 --> 00:08:02.900 we have deep sea corals and the brooding octopus garden in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. 00:08:02.900 --> 00:08:09.900 So in order to study the biology of an exploration mission you'll need marine biologists on the ship. 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:18.380 We also study geology, like hydrothermal vents, seafloor mapping and using sonar for this. 00:08:18.380 --> 00:08:23.620 So this takes a whole other group of scientists: oceanographers, marine geologists, 00:08:24.900 --> 00:08:30.880 oceanography chemistry, all of these different scientists with specializations 00:08:30.880 --> 00:08:35.280 adding a whole other suite of researchers to an exploration team. 00:08:36.100 --> 00:08:40.900 And then we also study maritime heritage when we're doing exploration. 00:08:40.900 --> 00:08:48.600 So we'll also need a maritime specialist on an ocean exploration expedition as well. 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:54.100 So when we're looking for things like shipwrecks we need an oceanographer to know how to map, 00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:58.780 we need the archaeologists to be able to identify that, yes that's a shipwreck 00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:03.120 and not just a random artifact lying on the lake bed or a sea floor. 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:11.080 So with all of that, that is a ton of scientists that would be involved in an exploration mission. 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:19.740 Far too many to fit on an ocean exploration vessel. And that is when telepresence comes into play. 00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:27.700 So telepresence is kind of a tricky word. For me, I best understand it when I think of it as ship to shore. 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.400 Now this graphic I'll detail out in the next slide but essentially it's taking what the remotely operated vehicle 00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:41.120 at the far left and bottom left of the photo, is exploring the deep sea, 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.840 it's taking the video from that, up through the tether to the ocean exploration vessel, 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:53.420 sending that through this radio tower to a satellite, and then that satellite beams it to land. 00:09:53.420 --> 00:10:00.540 So ship-to-shore. And on land we then have scientists and the general public tuning in. 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.660 So if there wasn't room on this exploration vessel, say for an archaeologist, 00:10:05.660 --> 00:10:12.580 that archaeologist could be tuning in on land and be able to put their input in in real time 00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:19.280 on what they're finding at the seafloor. So this enables the expedition to have tons of experts participating. 00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:25.760 A little bit more of what this could look like, here we have a NOAA exploration vessel photographed, 00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:33.020 we have an ROV exploring the deep sea and then this is actually the Okeanos Explorer's radio tower, 00:10:33.020 --> 00:10:40.220 so this is what sends this is on a NOAA exploration vessel, and that sends the signal to the satellite 00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:47.420 and then that satellite from there goes to, this photo in the top is a command center 00:10:47.420 --> 00:10:54.640 where scientists are gathering together to watch the live stream and make analysis and send that back to the boat. 00:10:54.640 --> 00:11:00.260 But something that's fun and a little bit where my role comes in, is here we have some students 00:11:00.260 --> 00:11:07.240 sitting eating their dinner, their lunch... more of what this has looked like in the past few months from home 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.540 tuning in and watching from their computer. 00:11:12.300 --> 00:11:17.940 So like I said I'm the education specialist and where I tend to get involved 00:11:17.940 --> 00:11:24.520 in the ocean exploration projects is how we can connect those to the classroom and to the public. 00:11:24.520 --> 00:11:30.380 So to students of all ages being able to participate in real time in ocean exploration. 00:11:30.380 --> 00:11:35.780 So here we have a photo from one of our grantee's projects, that I'll get into a little bit later on 00:11:35.780 --> 00:11:41.160 in the presentation, from last year where we were connecting with students in classrooms, 00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:49.140 and the Inner Space Center up in Rhode Island and bringing the ship feed from Massachusetts Bay 00:11:49.140 --> 00:11:54.440 in Stellwagen bank National Marine Sanctuary. All together in one for a live program. 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:59.120 So many different ways that you can connect with telepresence. 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:05.120 Now I have our first poll question, What are the benefits of telepresence? 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:12.580 More experts can partake in exploration,data can be publicly available, the general public can tune in 00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:14.320 or all of the above all? 00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:19.260 -[Claire] Alright there you have it go ahead. If you're in full-screen mode, 00:12:19.260 --> 00:12:23.960 you're going to want to pop out a full-screen mode to be able to answer this poll question. 00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:32.420 and go ahead and register your vote... we're, about half of you have done so I'll give another 5 or 10 seconds... 00:12:33.520 --> 00:12:36.060 Yeah so what do you think the benefits are of telepresence? 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.300 All right, we're gonna go ahead and wrap this pull-up to keep on track. 00:12:46.300 --> 00:12:52.120 It looks like, well the majority of you, 96%, all of the above, right? 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:57.740 It can make... more experts can particular participate and partake in the exploration from shore, 00:12:57.740 --> 00:13:03.700 data can be publicly available in near real-time, and of course the general public can tune in. 00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:06.980 So well done to all of you. There you go Hannah. 00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:16.260 -[Hannah] Awesome. So thank you. I'm gonna have to go back and share my screen... there we go. 00:13:16.860 --> 00:13:22.440 And so I, this last year, have worked with NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries 00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:29.060 through the telepresence exploration award. So this is how NOAA and Office of National Marine Sanctuaries 00:13:29.060 --> 00:13:35.860 has used telepresence in the last year. So NOAA awarded funding to National Marine Sanctuaries 00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:40.630 to award competitively to grantees who are willing to do ocean exploration 00:13:40.630 --> 00:13:47.260 in the National Marine Sanctuary system. Throughout the award three organizations came out on top. 00:13:47.260 --> 00:13:51.240 We have Ocean Exploration Trust, which runs the Nautilus. 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:57.900 We have Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and we also have Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration. 00:13:57.900 --> 00:14:02.460 So these 3 grantees, I'll go over their projects a little bit in the next few slides , 00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:08.600 they all conducted telepresence exploration in sanctuaries, and all in a variety of ways. 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:14.160 So it shows you the variety of projects that telepresence can support. 00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:19.300 Oh and we're onto our next poll question. So this one's kind of fun. 00:14:19.300 --> 00:14:23.980 If you were one of these grantees, if you were awarded money to do exploration 00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:29.040 in the National Marine Sanctuary system, what region would you select? 00:14:30.180 --> 00:14:35.420 So we have the Northeast and Great Lakes region, West Coast region, Pacific Islands region 00:14:35.420 --> 00:14:37.640 and South East region. 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:43.300 -[Claire] All right, there you have it register your vote on this quick poll so we can get a sense of 00:14:43.300 --> 00:14:46.040 what region you'd be most excited to explore. 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.360 All right, our numbers are climbing, we'll give you another 5 seconds to respond. 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:58.000 Again, if you're in full-screen mode you'll want to pop out of full-screen mode through your control panel 00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:01.200 and then you're able to answer the poll. 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.760 All right, numbers look good, let's close the poll and... 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:12.820 Ahh, interesting results there Hannah, so 51% from the Pacific Islands region 00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:18.340 so the Hawaiian Islands, American Samoa in the South Pacific, etc. 00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:22.720 -[Hannah] Nice. That's awesome. I like that there's still is variety though. 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.160 I figured it would be Pacific Islands region but I do like that we didn't leave any region out. 00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:29.500 -[Claire] Absolutely. 00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.620 -[Hannah] Explore everywhere. 00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:33.100 -[Claire] Alright! 00:15:34.760 --> 00:15:40.480 -[Hannah] So, moving on and actually Ocean Exploration Trust thought much like many of you, 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.680 they actually did explore in the Pacific Islands region. 00:15:43.680 --> 00:15:47.960 They explored in the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:52.200 So this here is their exploration vessel Nautilus. 00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:58.780 Nautilus, in 2019, visited five sanctuary sites. This was their expedition map. 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:04.400 They visited greater Farallones, Cordell Bank, and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary 00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:09.840 in Northern California. They also visited the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa, 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:14.680 and then not featured on this map, but a sanctuary that they did indeed visit, 00:16:14.900 --> 00:16:21.540 but not with their big exploration vessel Nautilus, was Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Lake Huron. 00:16:21.900 --> 00:16:27.340 So before I dive into where the Nautilus visited, I wanted to tell you a little bit about 00:16:27.340 --> 00:16:33.260 telepresence enabled programs in Thunder Bay, and how Ocean Exploration Trust 00:16:33.260 --> 00:16:37.400 enabled these without their big Nautilus exploration vessel. 00:16:37.400 --> 00:16:45.733 So here on this slide the little yellow boat-like thing is actually an autonomous surface vehicle 00:16:45.733 --> 00:16:51.320 whose name is Ben, which stands for Bathymetric Explorer and Navigator. 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:55.920 So we just called him Ben for short. He's about twelve feet in length 00:16:55.920 --> 00:17:01.680 and he does not have to have any human operating him physically on the vessel. 00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:06.400 So he's a remote control, autonomous service vehicle. 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:13.400 And from this photo you can see that he uses sonar technology to map the lake bed and seafloor. 00:17:13.860 --> 00:17:19.540 So on the left-hand side we have the expedition team working out of some tight corners 00:17:19.540 --> 00:17:26.300 and kind of like a trailer setup control van, where on their computer screens they're seeing in real-time 00:17:26.300 --> 00:17:32.700 where Ben is tracking the data that he's collecting and mapping the lake bed. 00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:38.160 So in this photo we have some of the engineers that built Ben, we have the people driving it 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:43.920 from the computers and controls, and we also have the oceanographer oceanography team 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.920 that is able to analyze the data that then is picking up in real-time. 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.780 So this program was also enabled making it ship-to- shore 00:17:53.780 --> 00:17:56.580 through the use of Facebook Live and GoogleMeets. 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.740 So we were bringing, and we were connecting the classrooms that way and the general public, 00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:04.620 bringing the exploration right to people's screens. 00:18:04.620 --> 00:18:09.520 Really cool way to enable telepresence without a big exploration vessel. 00:18:10.760 --> 00:18:16.160 But with the Nautilus, we are able to use their ROV, remotely operated vehicle, 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:21.760 to reach deep areas of the sanctuary that are hard to explore any other way. 00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:28.720 With our Nautilus team and their ROV, we were able to find, this is just in 2019, 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.200 a whale fall in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:37.560 and then this is a unique find from those people who wanted to explore the Pacific Islands region, 00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:41.480 a Venus Flytraps sea anenome in American Samoa. 00:18:42.360 --> 00:18:49.920 And so now I'm going to show you a video of the whale fall since I mentioned that in Monterey Bay. 00:18:49.920 --> 00:21:15.120 [Refer to video link in archive or visit https://nautiluslive.org/video/2019/10/17/baleen-whale-fall-becomes-deep-sea-banquet-davidson-seamount ] 00:21:16.800 --> 00:21:22.160 Awesome, so that gives you a little bit of an overview of how exciting it can be 00:21:22.179 --> 00:21:27.120 to find something that you weren't expecting on an ocean exploration mission. 00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:30.240 And all of the voices that you were hearing in that video, 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.620 those were the people that were in the Nautilus' controlled an in real time. 00:21:34.620 --> 00:21:39.520 Some of those people include the lead scientist, a science communicator, 00:21:39.520 --> 00:21:43.940 and maybe as some other scientists that were supporting the operations as well. 00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:49.300 But you don't hear as many scientific voices as are actually behind the scenes, 00:21:49.300 --> 00:21:54.720 because they're streaming this in real time to scientists across the country who are helping identify 00:21:54.720 --> 00:22:00.320 the different types of octopus. Maybe they're able to identify the whale and the other species that are on there. 00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:04.180 So really telepresence enables this to be a group effort. 00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:08.830 And this was streamed on NautilusLive.org. 00:22:08.830 --> 00:22:14.080 I was fortunate enough to receive a notification when they find something super cool 00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:19.160 so that I could actually watch this in real time. So I believe it was about five o'clock here 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:26.660 on the East Coast and I was able to get the email, jump right on and watch this happen in real time - super cool. 00:22:26.660 --> 00:22:32.900 So I'd recommend subscribing to them and following along on Nautiluslive.org for more things like that. 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:39.420 And here we also have one of the very famous finds the octopus garden. 00:22:39.420 --> 00:22:43.659 So this was, this is a Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary as well 00:22:43.660 --> 00:22:50.420 and this was actually first found in 2018, but we went back again in 2019 00:22:50.420 --> 00:22:57.320 to see if it was still there, and in fact it was, so I will go over and play this video as well. 00:23:02.840 --> 00:23:11.600 -[Video Narration, multiple voices] Alright. There we go. Oh yay big fella. 00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:16.580 Is this enough octopus for you Joe? 00:23:18.360 --> 00:23:20.400 Oh wow! 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.550 I can see it ripple, the mantle there 00:23:30.950 --> 00:23:40.730 This is great. Oh there we go. My god she's posing, that great show-off. 00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:50.240 We've only got another 30 seconds or so unfortunately. That's ok, I'll take every second I can go with this guy. 00:24:12.900 --> 00:24:19.280 The majority that we've been seeing in this area are in, what looks to be a brooding pose. 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:34.360 -[Hannah] And again I wanted to mention all of the different voices you were hearing 00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:39.250 were all coming from the control van. Science communicators as well as scientists 00:24:39.250 --> 00:24:42.440 teaming up to explain to you what's happening in real time. 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:48.200 Now this video that I just showed you comes from our Sanctuaries Earth is Blue video collection 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:53.380 and there are tons of great educational resources in this video collection 00:24:53.380 --> 00:24:57.800 for you to use with your classroom or just learn more about sanctuaries, 00:24:57.800 --> 00:25:00.900 so I highly recommend checking that out after today's webinar. 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.840 Oh, and so now we have our next poll question. Have I convinced you, I guess, 00:25:06.840 --> 00:25:12.360 to tune into NautilusLive.org in 2020 for their exploration? 00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:17.520 -[Claire] Hannah, when you just showed the whale fall video and the octopus garden I think you've got people 00:25:17.520 --> 00:25:21.380 hooked we're getting lots of great comments that people kind of being blown away by the footage. 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:26.640 So go ahead answer the quick poll -yes, no, or maybe. 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.540 I'm hoping that we get a good percentage of you that are very excited. 00:25:30.540 --> 00:25:36.320 I did put in the chat box the NautilusLive.org web link as well as Earth is blue which you just mentioned. 00:25:36.320 --> 00:25:38.920 Or, I haven't done that one yet, but I'm going to. 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:44.160 So the links are directly in your your question box there that you can click on and bookmark. 00:25:44.820 --> 00:25:49.700 Alright we've got over 80% almost, that have registered to our poll here. 00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:57.940 Oh yay, you're doing a good job, you've got people excited - 90% of our attendees that 00:25:57.940 --> 00:26:02.040 did the quick poll are very excited to tune in to NautilusLive.org. 00:26:02.040 --> 00:26:08.460 -[Hannah] That's great I'm glad that the videos did it for them that's fantastic. 00:26:09.100 --> 00:26:15.220 And so now we're gonna move on to our next grantee, but I do recommend, Nautilus does a great job 00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:19.220 recapping their expeditions with the highlights from all of the different 00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:24.100 sanctuaries on their website as well so another good reason to check out NautilusLive.org. 00:26:24.100 --> 00:26:29.940 But on to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, another cooperative agreement awardee, 00:26:30.300 --> 00:26:38.320 they use a vessel kind of similar to the Nautilus but not as large. They used the research vessel Yukon, 00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:42.740 working with WHOI, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:44.820 and they chose one sanctuary site. 00:26:44.820 --> 00:26:51.240 They chose Stellwagen bank National Marine Sanctuary, located in Massachusetts Bay 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.780 Now for this project I'm going to show you another video to talk about 00:26:55.780 --> 00:27:01.160 all of the technologies that this team used to enable a telepresence program. 00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:06.680 So they also put together this video about how they were getting this program up and running 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:11.320 with all of their varieties of technologies with Marine Imaging Technologies, 00:27:11.320 --> 00:27:16.020 that's the company that they worked with to make this all happen 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.420 -[Video music] 00:27:27.740 --> 00:27:32.640 -Video narrator] Technology allows us to explore places that humans aren't equipped to go. 00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:40.220 Like underwater. For this project we're using a custom underwater robot named Pixel 00:27:40.360 --> 00:27:44.480 to film the shipwrecks and collect samples for our scientists. 00:27:45.280 --> 00:27:51.440 Pixel is a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, equipped with seven cameras and two samplers. 00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:58.360 GPS works on the surface, but it doesn't work underwater. 00:27:58.740 --> 00:28:04.960 To find our way to the wreck, we use USBL or Ultra Short Baseline. 00:28:06.100 --> 00:28:12.940 This technology uses sound waves to figure out where pixel is in relation to the wreck, and our ship. 00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:20.560 In addition to USBL, we also use acoustic sonar to help us see through dark or murky waters. 00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:27.820 One of our main jobs is to create a 3d model of the shipwreck, 00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:32.600 an important tool for scientists studying the wreck. 00:28:33.060 --> 00:28:36.360 To create the models we capture thousands of images, 00:28:36.360 --> 00:28:41.460 and use sophisticated computer software to recreate the ship's geometry. 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.960 By comparing a new model every few years, we can see how the reg is collapsing naturally 00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:52.460 or being damaged by human activity over time. 00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:57.780 We're also collecting images to create virtual reality movies during this expedition, 00:28:57.780 --> 00:29:01.560 which we will process and share once ashore. 00:29:01.560 --> 00:29:05.120 VR is an incredible way to experience both the expedition 00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:08.410 and diving underwater without getting wet 00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:14.120 It's also another way to put the eyes and minds of scientists and historians 00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:17.860 and all of you right there on the wreck. 00:29:17.860 --> 00:29:22.040 [music] 00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:32.040 -[Hannah] All right so that shows you the different types of technologies that 00:29:32.040 --> 00:29:37.340 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was using. I personally really was a fan of 00:29:37.350 --> 00:29:41.760 Pixel, the remotely operated vehicle. We got a lot of comments from our students 00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:44.960 in the ship-to-shore programs that he looked a lot like Wall-E. 00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:50.780 So he kind of became a cartoon explorer throughout the expedition which was really fun. 00:29:51.300 --> 00:29:56.200 Here we have Pixel exploring a shipwreck in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:02.380 to give you more of a feel of what it looks like. And Pixel also being deployed, as I mentioned, 00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:07.060 they didn't always operate off of the University of Connecticut's research vessels, 00:30:07.060 --> 00:30:11.120 sometimes they were doing small boat operations in the summer 00:30:11.120 --> 00:30:16.420 to prep for the big expedition that was telepresence enabled in the fall. 00:30:17.320 --> 00:30:22.780 So here we have much different than some of the control vans like on the Nautilus, 00:30:22.780 --> 00:30:26.820 we have the two science leads, the archeology lead in the biology lead, 00:30:26.820 --> 00:30:33.330 looking at a small photo of the...or a small frame of the ROV feed in real time 00:30:33.330 --> 00:30:39.200 so that is the screen that they were looking at as ROV Pixel was underwater, 00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:45.040 and something the Pixel might have been looking at, this photo was taken from Pixel this last year, 00:30:45.040 --> 00:30:51.360 and it's a cod near the deck of the shipwrecked Portland in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:57.840 So as I mentioned we had an archeology lead and a biology lead on this project 00:30:57.840 --> 00:31:03.420 in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. Now the archaeologist was looking for things like artifacts, 00:31:03.420 --> 00:31:06.960 like this cup found with the shrimp on the Portland, 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:12.360 and then the biology side of things... Dr. Kirsten Meyer Kaiser was looking at 00:31:12.360 --> 00:31:18.240 frilled anenomes that grow on shipwrecks' structures. She was actually using shipwrecks 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:25.920 as a comparison to island-like structures underwater to see if they create ecosystems different 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.300 than the substrate around. It's a very fascinating work. 00:31:30.500 --> 00:31:35.920 And then this right here is the photogrammetric model, one of the drafts that they came up with 00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:42.140 as you saw in the technology video, it takes a lot of photos to stitch together these things, 00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:48.300 and both Kirsten and the archaeology lead Kelvin used these photogrammetric models to 00:31:48.300 --> 00:31:52.120 use in their data collection and in their research to see 00:31:52.120 --> 00:31:55.940 for the archaeology side how the ship has changed over time, 00:31:55.940 --> 00:32:01.079 and then for the biology side, to see what life remains on the shipwreck. 00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.280 So let me see if I can get to play for you. 00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:10.940 So here we have, you can see, these are some of the nets that are on the shipwreck. 00:32:11.380 --> 00:32:17.020 They talked about human impact in the video, so the nets were something that we noticed, fishing nets, 00:32:18.100 --> 00:32:25.860 on the shipwreck through this model. And the last time the Portland was visited there were not as many nets as 00:32:25.860 --> 00:32:32.380 were on at this time. So shows us how the Portland is being impacted over time 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:41.000 You can also see some artifacts here on the 3d model like, that pot right there... 00:32:45.060 --> 00:32:50.740 Awesome, and we have more 3d models yet to come as they are able to stitch 00:32:50.750 --> 00:32:54.740 together all the photographs from last year's expedition, and those will be 00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:59.160 available on our website sanctuaries.noaa.gov/live 00:32:59.420 --> 00:33:04.740 I'll have Claire drop the link there. Each grantee has their own page from 2019, 00:33:04.740 --> 00:33:10.200 and their preparations for 2020 exploration as well which I'll get into in a second. 00:33:10.820 --> 00:33:15.280 And then the third grantee, Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration, 00:33:15.280 --> 00:33:18.640 operated in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. 00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:24.940 They used an even smaller vessel, they used the RV Manta, and they brought their ROV 00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:31.060 the remotely operated vehicle Yogi with them to do some of the exploration looking at corals 00:33:31.060 --> 00:33:34.220 in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. 00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:40.700 So Flower Garden Banks, is about 100 miles off the coast of Galveston, Texas. 00:33:40.700 --> 00:33:46.790 It requires overnight operations to take place if you are exploring, so RV Manta 00:33:46.790 --> 00:33:50.780 did a great job of getting the team out there equipped with the ROV that they 00:33:50.780 --> 00:33:56.240 needed to do some of the exploring. And,so there were three different legs of 00:33:56.240 --> 00:34:02.140 this mission all different university leads taking on different approaches to coral research. 00:34:02.540 --> 00:34:05.480 So we studied coral biodiversity and connectivity. 00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:11.180 In this photo you can see how diverse these coral reef ecosystems are in Flower Garden Banks, 00:34:11.180 --> 00:34:14.980 by the abundance of fish and all the vibrant coral life, 00:34:16.520 --> 00:34:21.460 and then there was also a coral spawning leg, where they predicted the time of the time 00:34:21.460 --> 00:34:26.060 of the annual coral spawning. If you look in the photograph on the right you'll see some 00:34:26.120 --> 00:34:30.710 cloudiness coming out from the coral and that is evidence that it is spawning. 00:34:30.710 --> 00:34:37.420 And so in real time I think this time it was about 9 or 10 p.m. over here on the East Coast, 00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:42.480 I was able to watch the scientists see the coral spawning predicted about 00:34:42.490 --> 00:34:48.169 exactly when they thought it would be, and watch the researchers collect using the ROV, 00:34:48.169 --> 00:34:53.860 some samples to take back and further research coral spawning so that was fascinating. 00:34:53.860 --> 00:34:57.880 The third leg of this expedition also focused on black corals 00:34:57.890 --> 00:35:02.269 in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, so very wonderful work 00:35:02.269 --> 00:35:06.769 that they did back in 2019 on the research vessel Manta working with 00:35:06.769 --> 00:35:10.300 university partners from three different universities. 00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:18.100 And each one of these grantees is doing exploration expeditions again in 2020. 00:35:18.540 --> 00:35:25.160 So if you are able to view that link that Claire will send in the chat: sanctuaries.noaa.gov/live 00:35:25.160 --> 00:35:29.680 you'll see that these are their proposed plans for 2020 expeditions. 00:35:29.860 --> 00:35:34.940 Now, I do want to note that given the current state of affairs in this country and how 00:35:35.060 --> 00:35:40.700 we are going to operate research moving forward with the pandemic many of these 00:35:40.700 --> 00:35:45.859 plans may be subject to change so that is why I focused kind of a little bit 00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:51.920 more on what we found in 2019 then boasting about the 2020 expeditions 00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:56.380 but we do have their plans all up in place on the website so if you're 00:35:56.390 --> 00:36:00.499 interested in checking that out, they're all going to be highlighted here as well 00:36:00.500 --> 00:36:05.800 as things do change, if they do we'll be updating that on the website as well 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:10.500 So you can find out the latest on our websit. But as of right now, 00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:17.720 Ocean Exploration Trust is going to be visiting sanctuaries along the west coast in 2020 00:36:17.720 --> 00:36:20.940 and then back in Thunder Bay and 2021. 00:36:21.140 --> 00:36:28.240 So here we're going to be visiting in 2020, Greater Farallones, Monterey Bay, Channel Islands 00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:33.480 and Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, all along the West coast. 00:36:34.460 --> 00:36:41.140 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is going back to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. 00:36:41.140 --> 00:36:45.280 We're going to revisit the Portland see if there are any more human 00:36:45.289 --> 00:36:49.880 impacts we can assess as well as gain more insight to further tell the story 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:56.119 of the shipwreck Portland and then we're also going to visit a mystery schooner, 00:36:56.119 --> 00:37:00.019 so this is an unidentified shipwreck that they're hoping to learn more about. 00:37:00.019 --> 00:37:04.630 This photo was taken in 2003 so hopefully after this year we'll have 00:37:04.630 --> 00:37:09.220 incredible photos, 3d models, maybe even some VR 00:37:09.220 --> 00:37:15.520 of the mystery schooner to look at to help identify and tell the story of that shipwreck. 00:37:15.520 --> 00:37:19.280 So again Woods Hole is going back into Stellwagen Bank, 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:25.440 the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration is headed into Monitor National Marine Sanctuary 00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:30.400 and the surrounding areas to look at Civil War era, World War I, 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:36.880 and World War II shipwrecks. So that is planned for August but to be determined 00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:42.609 if that will happen this year but all of these projects, all three grantees will 00:37:42.609 --> 00:37:47.950 be hosting ship to shore telepresence enabled outreach and education programs 00:37:47.950 --> 00:37:52.599 for all of us to tune into. So that is really what I want to highlight you can 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.400 find that information for each one of the specific grantees on their website 00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:04.420 for Nautilus the quickest way will be NautilusLive.org, or you can schedule a 00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:08.160 direct connection with the ship with their ship to shore programs. 00:38:08.160 --> 00:38:14.050 You can learn more about that on their website as well. So I do want to say I really 00:38:14.050 --> 00:38:19.089 encourage any of the educators that are on this webinar to participate in the 00:38:19.089 --> 00:38:24.369 live programs in 2020. There'll be many different ways to connect your classroom 00:38:24.369 --> 00:38:29.950 to the ocean exploration in real time. If you're interested now to learn more we 00:38:29.950 --> 00:38:36.280 just recapped all of 2019 expeditions with the science leads so with each 00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:40.690 National Marine Sanctuary there was a science lead that led their expedition 00:38:40.690 --> 00:38:45.849 those individuals came on to Exploring by the Seat of your Pants and the Office of 00:38:45.849 --> 00:38:49.380 National Marine Sanctuaries collaboration for live interactions , 00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:55.220 so it was similar to this with webinars but geared for seventh-grade students 00:38:55.220 --> 00:38:58.450 and all of those recordings are on Exploring by the Seat of your Pants 00:38:58.450 --> 00:39:02.710 YouTube channel, so if you're interested in learning more this way through a 00:39:02.710 --> 00:39:08.619 video please tune in there. And then we have featured education resources on 00:39:08.620 --> 00:39:14.040 each of the grantees pages, so I'll show you an example here... 00:39:15.240 --> 00:39:20.820 Of what I'm referring to for featured education resources. So here we have the 2020 00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:24.600 expedition page for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 00:39:25.080 --> 00:39:32.380 we have an overview of what the expedition will entail, some photos from last year... 00:39:32.380 --> 00:39:39.590 here we have Pixel again, here we have a 3d model that I showed you, and then we 00:39:39.590 --> 00:39:45.080 have live programming. So if you are an educator interested or you are into 00:39:45.080 --> 00:39:51.120 informal education and would like to partake in real-time, we have a form up 00:39:51.120 --> 00:39:56.120 right here to sign up for a live connection. We have our live connection 00:39:56.120 --> 00:40:00.770 times available as well. This is all do you be determined with the state of the 00:40:00.770 --> 00:40:05.150 pandemic but so far this one's looking good. And then we have educational 00:40:05.150 --> 00:40:10.180 resources -so lesson plans that pair well with what the expedition is about. 00:40:10.180 --> 00:40:15.340 So these include videos, they include lesson plans and on some of the other grantees 00:40:15.500 --> 00:40:22.660 we've included videos from our Earth is Blue series to show you more about 00:40:22.660 --> 00:40:26.660 the expeditions. You can just keep diving into our resources and learning more 00:40:26.660 --> 00:40:31.380 sharing with your students. So with that I have another poll question: 00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:38.540 Are you interested in partaking in exploring national marine sanctuaries this year? 00:40:40.060 --> 00:40:45.420 -[Claire] All right, excellent let me pull up that tab, I was busy typing into the chat box. 00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:53.000 All right here you go, are you interested? We'll see if we can get to that 90% and up 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:57.960 of people interested in partaking in our virtual exploration 00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:01.660 of our National Marine Sanctuaries. 00:41:02.020 --> 00:41:08.300 All right, we're climbing up past 70 or almost at 70 percent give you another 00:41:08.300 --> 00:41:11.990 couple of seconds. Again if you're in full screen mode you want to pop out of 00:41:11.990 --> 00:41:16.700 that to be able to respond to the Quick Poll. All right I think we're in a good 00:41:16.700 --> 00:41:20.150 place we'll go ahead and close it and yes look at that 00:41:20.150 --> 00:41:23.420 cha-ching, ninety percent yes they're interested in partaking. 00:41:23.420 --> 00:41:23.920 -[Hannah] Awesome. 00:41:24.180 --> 00:41:30.220 -[Claire]so all those links have been going out into the question box for you attendees you can 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:34.910 click on those links as I've mentioned before and they'll pop you in to the web 00:41:34.910 --> 00:41:38.900 sites, you can then book the sights we probably will maybe Hannah 00:41:38.900 --> 00:41:42.349 we should develop a little one pager that has all these links as well that'll 00:41:42.349 --> 00:41:46.900 be in the archive page on our website. So that will be another way to get that information. 00:41:48.740 --> 00:41:54.840 -[Hannah] That sounds great yeah, and now I'm open for questions. Thank you all for 00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:58.100 listening and I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the highlights from last year. 00:41:58.100 --> 00:42:02.450 It's always fun for me to revisit those again, it brings me back to watching in 00:42:02.450 --> 00:42:06.710 real time where my eyes were some of the first eyes to ever see what was on the 00:42:06.710 --> 00:42:12.060 bottom of the seafloor, making it super cool to partake in real time for 2020 00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:19.160 -[Claire] Absolutely. All right so for attendees there's several ways to ask questions today. 00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:25.580 The easiest way is to just type in your question into the question box in your GoToWebinar control panel. 00:42:25.580 --> 00:42:30.900 If you're feeling brave and you don't mind having your audio turned on and being unmuted, 00:42:31.620 --> 00:42:36.980 there's a little raise hand feature that you can select and make green in your control panel, 00:42:36.980 --> 00:42:43.170 which will alert Justin and I to know that you would like to be unmuted and ask your question orally. 00:42:43.170 --> 00:42:47.740 I want to make note, that make sure there's no significant background noise, 00:42:47.740 --> 00:42:51.500 if in fact there is, it's best for you to type in your question, but if you're in a quiet place 00:42:51.500 --> 00:42:54.840 and you'd like to ask a question, we'll do it that way. 00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:59.500 Our first question that we'll take is,Will there be any live programming offered so 00:42:59.580 --> 00:43:01.720 that Hawai'i students can participate? 00:43:02.820 --> 00:43:04.900 -[Hannah] Yeah indeed, so many of the programs... 00:43:05.020 --> 00:43:06.620 -[Justin] Actually, I think with the time change. 00:43:07.300 --> 00:43:13.600 -[Hannah] Yeah, yeah I understand. With the ship-to-shore programs offered by Nautilus, 00:43:13.600 --> 00:43:20.380 I believe you're able to select the time that you would like science communicator to connect with your classroom. 00:43:20.620 --> 00:43:26.960 The model of that is to be determined this year as they are working through pandemic circumstances 00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:32.100 but if all goes as planned you will always be able to go to NautilusLive.org 00:43:32.100 --> 00:43:36.700 to see what they are streaming in real time. Many times if you're bored at 2 a.m. 00:43:36.700 --> 00:43:39.900 NautilusLive.org, something is coming up 00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:44.550 on their camera whether the ROV is in the water or you're looking at what's 00:43:44.550 --> 00:43:48.620 happening on the deck of Nautilus, there's always something to look at no matter the time zone. 00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:57.780 -[Justin] I would add, I actually had the honor to be on the 2018 expedition to Papahānaumokuākea, 00:43:57.780 --> 00:44:03.150 and there were people doing live classroom interactions in the middle of the night people are working 00:44:03.150 --> 00:44:07.140 in four-hour shifts 24 hours a day plenty of opportunities. 00:44:08.040 --> 00:44:14.460 I am wondering, we have Joanne Flanders has had her hand raised, so I'm gonna unmute you Joanne 00:44:15.500 --> 00:44:20.920 and why don't you ask your question? You are self muted so you just need to unmute yourself. 00:44:26.660 --> 00:44:28.600 -[Claire] This is always the risk of us as we try this right? 00:44:28.600 --> 00:44:30.460 -[Justin] Looks like sheʻs having trouble coming on. 00:44:32.940 --> 00:44:39.160 Okay so I'm going to jump over, we have a question from Jacqueline, 00:44:39.160 --> 00:44:44.540 How would a class join a live expedition if the teachers and students are all at home? 00:44:44.540 --> 00:44:47.514 So that's curious about strategies... 00:44:47.514 --> 00:44:52.369 -[Hannah] Yeah that's a great question Jacqueline, and we've actually been doing this with the 00:44:52.369 --> 00:44:55.620 Exploring by the Seat of your Pants programs this last year, 00:44:55.620 --> 00:44:59.760 So through the same platform GoToWebinar that youjoined this time, 00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:05.160 teachers are able to send out, they register themselves and then they forward the registration link 00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:09.500 or the link that they get to directly join, to all of their students, 00:45:09.500 --> 00:45:15.160 so we are able to have them connect in real time so they're watching the same thing that you are. 00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:19.520 So that is one opportunity that we've discussed. We've also discussed 00:45:19.520 --> 00:45:23.161 streaming live two platforms like YouTube and Facebook. 00:45:23.161 --> 00:45:27.680 Itʻs still to be determined what platform we go with moving forward where students can 00:45:27.680 --> 00:45:31.489 comment in real-time. We do understand that many schools are going to be in a 00:45:31.489 --> 00:45:37.039 variety of situations- hybrid, online, in-person, so we're trying to accommodate as 00:45:37.040 --> 00:45:41.380 many needs as possible to get as many students to be able to connect to these programs. 00:45:43.700 --> 00:45:48.340 -[Claire] That's great Hanna, thank you. So there's a question here, 00:45:48.340 --> 00:45:51.520 What is the best advice you have for interns as they're 00:45:51.520 --> 00:45:56.080 going through the learning experiences of National Marine Sanctuaries? 00:45:56.560 --> 00:46:03.920 -[Hannah] That is a great question and I would like to kind of talk about my intern story 00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:07.840 because it comes directly from National Marine Sanctuaries. 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:15.520 So I was a volunteer at a young age about I think, at 16, I started painting faces at 00:46:15.520 --> 00:46:21.470 Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary at their maritime festival, to then find that I was trusted 00:46:21.470 --> 00:46:25.660 enough to man an outreach booth and talk about invasive species in the Great Lakes. 00:46:25.660 --> 00:46:29.900 And then in turn, found my passion in environmental education. 00:46:29.900 --> 00:46:35.680 From there I applied to be a NOAA Hollings scholar, which provided me an internship, 00:46:35.680 --> 00:46:39.220 and I again was called to the National Marine Sanctuary system 00:46:39.220 --> 00:46:42.840 where I interned in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. 00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:49.160 From there I eventually ended up here at the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries working 00:46:49.160 --> 00:46:53.510 out of Silver Spring, but I think the best piece of advice that I could give, 00:46:53.510 --> 00:46:58.700 I tested the waters a little bit doing marine biology work, education work, 00:46:59.780 --> 00:47:03.920 to environmental education work, outdoor education - to really find your niche. 00:47:04.040 --> 00:47:08.540 So as you're interning, take those chances in various fields. I have first thought 00:47:08.720 --> 00:47:13.160 that I just wanted to be a marine biologist, only then to later find out 00:47:13.160 --> 00:47:16.800 that I liked communicating marine science more, and found that my calling. 00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:21.020 So really test the waters and find mentors that will help open doors for you 00:47:21.020 --> 00:47:24.500 in different avenues. So all of the mentors that I've made throughout the 00:47:24.500 --> 00:47:28.860 National Marine Sanctuary system have helped guide my career, 00:47:28.860 --> 00:47:33.400 and something that I definitely value is mentorship. 00:47:34.660 --> 00:47:39.440 -[Claire] Yeah and Hannah is like understating, I mean we even...she participated in high school 00:47:39.580 --> 00:47:44.420 in our Ocean for Life program which was an extremely competitive program for students in 00:47:44.420 --> 00:47:49.820 North America and the greater Middle East, and was just one of about 12 or 15 00:47:49.820 --> 00:47:53.750 that were selected from North America, so I got to meet her back in the day when 00:47:53.750 --> 00:47:57.650 she was a high school student and it's so fun to see full circle, her having 00:47:57.650 --> 00:48:01.430 like she said, done the Hollings Scholarship program which is for 00:48:01.430 --> 00:48:05.870 undergraduate students that is through NOAA and I will put a link in there for 00:48:05.870 --> 00:48:09.770 these student opportunities so that you can and weʻll add that to that flier that 00:48:09.770 --> 00:48:12.460 we're talking about that'll be in the webinar archive page, 00:48:12.460 --> 00:48:17.930 but yeah, get involved and like Hannah said, try it wide variety of things to see what your 00:48:17.930 --> 00:48:22.040 what what excites you the most, what you think may not quite be the path that 00:48:22.040 --> 00:48:23.780 really gets you excited. 00:48:23.780 --> 00:48:28.540 -[Justin] I would really encourage you to check out the NOAA careers page, they've just updated it 00:48:28.540 --> 00:48:33.140 and there's some really great, almost stories of individual people 00:48:33.140 --> 00:48:35.210 talking about their work and how they got there 00:48:35.210 --> 00:48:37.040 So that includes a lot of the type of work weʻre talking about here. 00:48:37.940 --> 00:48:39.920 -[Claire] And let me just tap in , there's another question that came in, 00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:42.600 Are there similar opportunities for graduate students? 00:48:42.600 --> 00:48:50.080 So yes, absolutely. We within the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries manage a program called 00:48:50.080 --> 00:48:52.700 the Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship. 00:48:52.700 --> 00:48:56.300 So this is for students getting Masters or PhDs, 00:48:56.300 --> 00:49:00.560 and FosterScholars.NOAA.gov, 00:49:00.560 --> 00:49:02.960 when I'm done talking I'll type that into the chat box 00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:09.470 and there's other opportunities that you'll find on that NOAA students opportunities page that 00:49:09.470 --> 00:49:10.840 I'll also link out to you. 00:49:12.060 --> 00:49:16.020 -[Justin] The only other question Claire, that I see is, 00:49:16.020 --> 00:49:20.940 How difficult is it to get selected, or can all participate? I'm assuming that is the 00:49:20.940 --> 00:49:22.800 related to the ship-to-shore interactions. 00:49:25.060 --> 00:49:31.800 -[Hannah] That is a great question. For some of the programs it will go on a first-come first-served basis, 00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:37.860 but it's looking like the model weʻll be working with moving forward since a lot of classrooms will be remote, 00:49:37.860 --> 00:49:45.140 will be to just broadcast it out to everybody and allow as many people as possible to tune in. 00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:50.000 So there isn't really an acceptance, you don't need to do anything to get accepted 00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:56.270 besides if there is a first-come first-serve basis. And I think the same runs for the ship-to-shore programs 00:49:56.270 --> 00:50:02.000 offered through the Nautilus as well. They might reach capacity but like 00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:07.420 Justin said, they are running that 24 hours a day so hopefully they can squeeze you in. 00:50:08.240 --> 00:50:13.160 -[Claire] Well we should probably also put a pitch in for Ocean Exploration Trust and the Nautilus, 00:50:13.160 --> 00:50:19.910 because they do a ton of engineering internships, so if you're interested, if you're like a gamer or you have kids or 00:50:19.910 --> 00:50:22.880 students that are gamers this they're like people that pilot the remotely 00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:27.760 operated vehicles using joysticks... so they have technology and engineering 00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:32.540 opportunities for interns on their vessel when we were in pre Covid and 00:50:32.540 --> 00:50:37.800 hopefully post-Covid era. There's opportunities as Science Communication Fellows 00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:44.320 and a whole wide variety of ways to get on board that vessel, like Justin has done and many many others, 00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:51.480 so NautilusLive.org is a way to find out about those internship and the opportunities as well. 00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:56.500 -[Hannah] And those opportunities aren't just tailored for people that have backgrounds in marine science, 00:50:56.500 --> 00:51:03.100 there's been graphic designers, cartoonists, communication specialists of all different varieties 00:51:03.100 --> 00:51:06.540 that have been able to get a Science Communication Fellowship position. 00:51:06.540 --> 00:51:12.160 So really if you're interested in ocean exploration I highly recommend applying to one of their programs. 00:51:12.160 --> 00:51:16.330 -[Justin] Absolutely. And they have very seasoned experienced people who take you under their wing. 00:51:16.330 --> 00:51:21.710 Interns are working right there on the ROV's before and after each dive, 00:51:21.710 --> 00:51:26.840 the science team was directly there taking out the biological samples and taking them to the lab 00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:34.208 after each dive. The videographer intern actually is the one who captured a gulper eel on our expedition 00:51:34.208 --> 00:51:39.860 which had over two million hits on YouTube when that was posted, that could be you. 00:51:40.500 --> 00:51:44.320 -[Claire] Yeah and it's an amazing experience to be out on that vessel and being a part of this. 00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:49.340 So we've talked about college students, undergrad and graduate students, 00:51:49.340 --> 00:51:54.200 and then there's a question here about senior scientists can assist with research from ashore? 00:51:54.680 --> 00:51:59.080 Yeah great question. So Dr. Robert Ballard who runs the Ocean Exploration Trust 00:51:59.080 --> 00:52:04.920 and the Nautilus exploration vessel, they have this "Doctors on Call," I believe they call it, 00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:12.220 and it's a way for senior scientists to sign up with your expertise. So say you're a deep-sea coral reef biologist, 00:52:12.220 --> 00:52:17.510 or you're an oceanographer, or a maritime heritage archaeologist, you sign up on their 00:52:17.510 --> 00:52:21.820 Doctors on Call, letting them know what your expertise is and your area of the world, 00:52:21.820 --> 00:52:26.270 and they do that live all the time you like you can be watching in 00:52:26.270 --> 00:52:29.660 near-real-time right? with that like one-second delay through NautilusLive.org, 00:52:29.660 --> 00:52:33.100 you're basically seeing what they're seen from the vessel in the 00:52:33.110 --> 00:52:37.610 control room down to the ocean floor where they are with the the two remotely 00:52:37.610 --> 00:52:42.230 operated vehicles, but they will also allow you a way to connect into the 00:52:42.230 --> 00:52:47.450 science party line, where you can be chatting back and forth and providing 00:52:47.450 --> 00:52:51.620 insight in real time to - oh you're looking at a really rare sixgill shark 00:52:51.620 --> 00:52:57.470 and that kind of a thing. So look again NautilusLive.org which is in your 00:52:57.470 --> 00:53:01.220 question boxʻs link, is a great way to find out more about all these 00:53:01.220 --> 00:53:03.840 opportunities with that particular organization. 00:53:04.620 --> 00:53:07.740 -[Justin] All right, we have a question that has just popped up. 00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:12.040 Hannah, can you speak about all the teacher professional development opportunities? 00:53:12.040 --> 00:53:18.436 -[Hannah] Yeah, that's a great question. I can't necessarily speak directly on behalf of them 00:53:18.436 --> 00:53:25.320 but I know that NOAA's Office of Exploration and Research posts teacher workshops that are geared 00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:29.260 directly towards bringing ocean exploration into the classroom. 00:53:29.260 --> 00:53:36.620 So that can be a link that I can include in that PDF as well. Claire do you know a little bit more about that? 00:53:39.800 --> 00:53:44.140 -[Claire] Yeah I think we'll we'll do a little more research and find out. 00:53:44.140 --> 00:53:48.020 I believe the West Coast region of the National Marine Sanctuaries is going to have 00:53:48.020 --> 00:53:52.820 perhaps a virtual teacher workshop in preparation for their expedition in the fall. 00:53:52.820 --> 00:53:58.040 They're, the expedition on the Nautilus vessel may continue even during the pandemic, 00:53:58.040 --> 00:54:05.300 but there would be only the crew and ROV pilots and very skeleton staff and crew on board 00:54:05.300 --> 00:54:09.080 to be able to meet the social distancing requirements and all of that. 00:54:09.080 --> 00:54:13.400 So a lot of our educators and science staff would not be participating on the vessel 00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:17.730 but again, they would be doing it with that one-second delay through NautilusLive.org. 00:54:17.730 --> 00:54:21.540 But there'll be more information about like that type of teacher workshop or 00:54:21.540 --> 00:54:25.042 other teacher professional development in the near future. 00:54:25.042 --> 00:54:30.380 -[Justin] Yeah we probably time for one last question before you wrap it up. 00:54:30.380 --> 00:54:32.400 What do you think Claire there's the one... 00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:36.360 -[Claire] Yeah this is kind of interesting, so what's one of the main differences between the 00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:42.420 Nautilus Exploration vessel and the Okeanos Explorer? Great question! 00:54:42.420 --> 00:54:46.660 I mean gosh, now I'm taking over Hannah, Iʻll start and then... 00:54:46.660 --> 00:54:47.900 -Hannah] No, go for it! 00:54:47.900 --> 00:54:54.200 -[Claire] so there's three vessels of exploration in the world as of right now that I am aware of, 00:54:54.200 --> 00:55:01.200 the Schmidt Oceanographic Institute has the Falkor, Dr. Robert Ballard who is most famous 00:55:01.380 --> 00:55:05.730 for having discovered the wreck of the Titanic, and then of course deep sea 00:55:05.730 --> 00:55:11.960 chemosynthetic hydrothermal vent ecosystems, his Ocean Exploration Trust 00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:16.300 has their vessel the Nautilus, and then the third vessel is our NOAA 00:55:16.300 --> 00:55:22.200 Office of Exploration and Research vessel called Okeanos Explorer. So they're very 00:55:22.200 --> 00:55:29.490 similar, we do live events from both, we within National Marine Sanctuaries are 00:55:29.490 --> 00:55:33.990 in direct partnership with Nautilus through this cooperative agreement. 00:55:33.990 --> 00:55:38.760 We also triangulate in with the Office of Exploration Research and so it's all 00:55:38.760 --> 00:55:43.600 kind of intertwined - actually in the future there may be one one-stop website 00:55:43.600 --> 00:55:49.060 that includes all the educational materials and the live 00:55:49.070 --> 00:55:52.950 ship-to-shore events and all of that from one spot from the Falkor, the 00:55:52.950 --> 00:55:56.760 Nautilus and the Okeanos Explorer. So that's in the process of being developed 00:55:56.760 --> 00:56:01.680 and more to come, but yeah ocean exploration is exciting right we know 00:56:01.680 --> 00:56:07.380 more about the moon, the surface of the moon, which is far away from us than we 00:56:07.380 --> 00:56:13.320 do on our own planet which the ocean you know covers more than 70% of planet Earth, 00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:15.120 which should be called planet ocean. 00:56:15.120 --> 00:56:21.780 But anyway we'll let Justin close up today's presentation. If you have anything you want to add Hanna go ahead. 00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:26.540 -[Hannah] No I think you did a great job. Thatʻs a great explanation. 00:56:26.540 --> 00:56:30.400 -[Justin] So you folks know we are going to, we have all of your questions 00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:35.120 and when we download all of our analytics we will send the remaining questions to Hannah, 00:56:35.120 --> 00:56:39.960 she's not gonna be able to answer all the technical questions but we will, 00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:43.860 all of this about accessing these resources we'll get those back out to you. 00:56:43.860 --> 00:56:48.100 In my learning process can you guys see my screen quickly right now? 00:56:48.100 --> 00:56:51.940 -[Claire] Not yet but I'm gonna go ahead and let's see 00:56:54.660 --> 00:56:58.540 it says we're waiting to.. it says now we're viewing... oh yes I we are seeing it, 00:56:58.540 --> 00:57:03.060 we were, it was just in a weird yeah you need to put in presentation screen. 00:57:03.060 --> 00:57:04.540 -[Hannah] Yep, full screen. 00:57:04.620 --> 00:57:05.918 -[Justin] I am full screen now. 00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:12.040 -[Hannah] Presentation... if you do like present from current slide, up in the top level. 00:57:12.040 --> 00:57:16.320 -[Justin] Interesting it shows it as full in my... how's that looking? 00:57:19.140 --> 00:57:28.369 -[Claire] Oh yeah still in the same, oh there we go maybe that'll work. it'll work but we are seeing some the notes 00:57:28.369 --> 00:57:34.700 -[Justin] Okay well folks let me just try it one more time. 00:57:34.700 --> 00:57:36.340 How's that? 00:57:36.500 --> 00:57:37.620 -[Claire] Yeah. 00:57:38.220 --> 00:57:43.020 -[Justin] That works? Okay so well... first of all, well it'll be in the notes anyways, 00:57:43.020 --> 00:57:51.060 Hannah thank you so much for that great presentation there's just a rich resources out there so please please 00:57:51.060 --> 00:57:53.400 follow up with some of what she showed. 00:57:55.180 --> 00:57:57.320 All of this as I said is recorded so we 00:57:57.330 --> 00:58:01.320 will be putting this up on our website shortly and you can access all of the 00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:04.760 different National Marine Sanctuary webinars at this link, 00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:09.700 if, Claire's probably already put that into our shared panel so you can just pull it right off of there 00:58:10.040 --> 00:58:14.560 and you also see our email there on this slide you have any 00:58:14.560 --> 00:58:17.320 questions, that will go to Claire. 00:58:17.740 --> 00:58:22.360 And there are a rich number on that so I would encourage you to check out the archives. 00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:27.360 Everyone who attended will be receiving this certificate of attendance and it is good for one hour of 00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:33.300 professional development for you formal and informal educators out there who could use this. 00:58:34.260 --> 00:58:38.980 And finally, while I have you formal and informal educators, 00:58:38.980 --> 00:58:41.500 we have a survey we could really use your help, 00:58:41.500 --> 00:58:46.380 we are gathering feedback on the best types of STEM multimedia and distance learning 00:58:46.380 --> 00:58:50.100 resources that we could create for you and provide for you and your students 00:58:50.100 --> 00:58:57.500 and for your home learning, as well as professional development. So if you could please take 00:58:57.500 --> 00:59:03.500 the five minutes to go ahead and take that survey be a huge help to us it does make a huge difference. 00:59:04.220 --> 00:59:11.420 And finally, our upcoming webinar is July 9th, at 3:00 p.m. Pacific, 00:59:11.420 --> 00:59:14.220 6:00 p.m. Eastern or 12:00 p.m.Hawai'i time, 00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:21.020 and chef Alan Susser will be presenting a Notorious and Delicious: Exploring Sustainable Seafood, 00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:24.960 and I believe that he is going to be looking at how our National Marine Sanctuaries 00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:29.220 can deal with invasive species through a creative cooking 00:59:31.460 --> 00:59:35.540 That ends our webinar, unless there's anything Claire or Hannah, you would like to add? 00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:39.900 -[Hannah] No, thank you to all the attendees for tuning in. 00:59:39.900 --> 00:59:43.200 -[Justin] Yeah, thank you all so much and we will hopefully see you at the next one. 00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:44.380 Take care. Aloha. 00:59:44.380 --> 00:59:46.820 -[Claire] Sounds great, thank you.
