A team of scientists has completed a comprehensive survey of the deep waters surrounding Trinidad and Tobago, revealing new insights into the uncharted depths that cover nearly 93% of the nation’s marine territory.

The monthlong expedition focused on areas beyond recreational scuba diving limits, providing critical data for understanding biodiversity and potential environmental threats in these remote regions.

This exploration is crucial for developing conservation strategies to protect unique ecosystems from overfishing, pollution, and climate change impacts such as ocean acidification.
