NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer is in port following the Beyond the Blue: Papahānaumokuākea Mapping 3 expedition, focused on waters generally deeper than 200 meters (656 feet) in and around Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. 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.
