John Delaney: Wiring an interactive ocean

Wiring an interactive ocean

Harnessing the ocean's vast resources, an undersea network of sensors is being built to revolutionize our understanding of oceans.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative promises to transform oceanography by delivering real-time, interactive access to the ocean's depths.

Emerging technologies like robotics, nanotech, and advanced imaging will deepen our presence in and connection to the oceanic world.
