Next on Nautilus: Channel Islands NMS & Santa Lucia Bank
The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has been explored at shallow depths, but scientists on this expedition will be exploring deeper areas in need of immediate management decisions. The team will also explore an area west of Santa Lucia Bank, which is a proposed location in a nominated Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary.
In this event, meet Corps of Exploration member Samantha Wishnak, in conversation with Violet Walker from the Chumash nation and Lizzie Duncan, Laura Francis, Lisa Wooninck, and Julie Bursek as they discuss how scientists manage Sanctuaries and why expeditions like this one are so important. This event originally aired on October 19, 2020.
