Beyond the Blue: Hawaiʻi Mapping
May 14-June 9, 2024
From May 14-June 9, NOAA Ocean Exploration and partners will conduct the Beyond the Blue: Hawaiʻi Mapping expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to collect bathymetric, sub-bottom, and water column data, focusing on waters deeper than 200 meters (656 feet) within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Collected data will contribute to Beyond the Blue: Illuminating the Pacific, a multiyear, collaborative science and research campaign aimed at bringing together partners to raise collective knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of waters in the Pacific Islands region through coastal and ocean mapping, exploration, and characterization. There will not be any remotely operated vehicle dives during this expedition.
Use of the livestreams is an important component of NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer’s mission. Depending on the exploration and operations at hand, content and availability of the video feeds will change. All video courtesy of NOAA Ocean Exploration.
