Explorer Classroom | Shipwrecks & Sunken Aircraft with the Ocean Exploration Trust: Maritime Heritage Team
Join the Maritime Heritage expedition team of archaeologists, underwater photographers, and educators, led by Explorer Justin Dunnavant, to learn how they will create virtual 3D models of key underwater cultural heritage sites in Maui and Lānaʻi in order to document them and raise awareness for their preservation.
From Shore To the Abyss: Exploration of Maritime Heritage and Microplastic Pollution in the Main Hawaiian Islands
Our third From Shore to the Abyss expedition finds OET and National Geographic Society investigating maritime cultural heritage and plastic pollution in the waters around Lānaʻi and Maui. Both project teams will investigate evidence left behind by humans to better understand what happened in the past, as well as what this means for the future. Projects focus on the intersection of human actions and the ocean environment to inform policy and management of this ecosystem.
