Episode 6
ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) are an amazing tool (not to mention very cool and fun) in conducting underwater exploration and tasks. While we tend to think of ROVs being used in deeper waters that divers can't get to, what about their role and importance in marine science happening in coastal environments? On this episode, Dr. Zachary Randell, a Senior Research Scientist at the Seattle Aquarium, talks to us about very innovative research projects being conducted by him and his team utilizing ROVs to study kelp forests in Puget Sound.
