Seabirds Spotted from E/V Nautilus During Pacific Transit
During our NA178 expedition, transiting E/V Nautilus from Honolulu to Guam, our avian biologists documented many different seabirds. During the expedition, it was normal to report over 500 bird sightings throughout a single day. Overall, approximately 32 different species were observed. This photo album contains some of the coolest seabirds seen by the ornithologists aboard the E/V Nautilus during the expedition.

Pacific Mapping
Our first expedition of the 2026 season is a seafloor mapping expedition from Hawaiʻi to Guam, where E/V Nautilus will support subsequent expeditions exploring deep-sea habitats around the Mariana Islands.
