And...we're off! It is Day 1 of the
#JacksonWild19 Summit, all focused on #LivingOceans, and I’m thrilled because @jacksonwildorg opened with a panel on the deep sea. Jennifer Berglund, Peter Girguis, Tim Shank and I shared the wonders of the deep, its vital importance to our planet, and the threats facing it. We also implored all present to tell the plethora of amazing deep-sea stories, from unique species to surreal landscapes, so it is catapulted into mainstream culture. Getting more of humanity to know and understand the deep ocean is a big missing piece of the puzzle of ocean conservation.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a Sicklefin Devilray (Mobula tarapacana) that we spotted from the @oceanx Deep Rover submersible off St. Peter and St. Paul’s Rocks in 2017. Nearly smack bang in the middle of the Atlantic, and one of the most bizarre and beautiful places I’ve ever been, rays congregate around these rocks. Judging by the light, we were probably between 150 and 350 metres depth, but they’ve been known to dive to 1848 metres! ••••••••••••••••••• #WomeninSTEM #ECR #marinebiologist #ocean #deepseabiologist #marinescience #STP17 #submersible #StPaulsRocks #sea #Brazil #TrinidadandTobago #happiness #science #scicomm #deepsea #research #ecology #deepseaexploration #exploration #OceanX #Alucia #biographic #throwbackThursday #sub

Dr @diva_amon: "The deep sea and the life that exists there is out of sight and out of mind. Most people are disconnected and as a result, unfamiliar. This disconnectedness also means that most of humankind doesn’t think the deep ocean world is relevant to their daily lives or the functioning of the planet."⠀
