Update
We continue to transit through the US EEZ, north of Howland Island on a priority survey point. Waters have been fairly smooth, allowing for detailed mapping, and identification of migrating bird species from the Arctic. In addition to spotting birds, our biologists also spotted a small pod of dolphins. The education outreach and communications department have been hosting ship to shore interactions, sharing OET’s mission and expedition highlights with hundreds of students.
