In our film, find out more about the start of the Ocean Census-Bounty Trough research cruise and what scientists hope to discover. During the voyage, the team will deploy specialist equipment to find out more about life at up to an incredible 5,000 metres.
This expedition is part of the Ocean Census mission to find and protect marine life before it’s too late. You can help to raise awareness of the importance of marine life by sharing the film with friends and colleagues.
