Off the coasts of Oregon, Washington, and Northern California lies the Cascadia Margin, an area where E/V Nautilus and other research vessels have mapped and found over 3,500 bubble plumes from methane seeps. A team arrives on Nautilus in days led by Dr. Tamara Baumberger and Susan Merle to study these environments never before seen with cameras.
