For Educators
Help Direct the Expedition
Teachers, students, and parents, ever wonder how far sharks migrate, what questions scientists ask when they look at an unexplored ecosystem for the first time, or how it feels to dive to depths of a thousand feet and more in a tiny sub? Dr. Enric Sala, Dr. Sylvia Earle, and their Cocos Island shipmates hope to have the answers. Follow their progress on the daily blog and send your questions and ideas here. We’ll send them via satellite to the ship, and scientists aboard will reply to as many as they can!
