2025 Expedition Season

In 2025, E/V Nautilus will explore deep-sea habitats in the Western Pacific using its mapping sonars, ROV systems, and other exploration technologies from partner institutions of the NOAA Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute. Join us in characterizing deep-sea habitats around Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Solomon Islands, and more. The goals of these expeditions are codeveloped with national exploration priorities and input from scientists, resource managers, and local communities and stakeholders in the regions where the expeditions will take place.
