Students will work in groups to evaluate biodiversity found in deep sea habitats of Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary using research videos taken from Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). With training from a marine science educator, students will learn the techniques and challenges behind deep sea research and will be trained on species identification and habitat characterization. Students will learn how to estimate species abundance and diversity by viewing real ROV footage and recording, analyzing and graphing scientific data. This 60-minute program can also be extended into a multi-day program that explores and compares data between numerous west coast national marine sanctuaries. NGSS: HS-LS2-2, LS2.C; HS-LS2-7.
