A Deeper Understanding
Together with the rest of the team, Dr. Copley took on this mission for a number of things. It is not all about observing the creatures in the region. Still, we can’t stress just how valuable it is to get to know the marine life. This has even allowed them to carry out better conservation methods in the South Pole.
How Our Lives Are Connected
“On these dives, we watched the everyday lives of Antarctic deep-sea animals, helping us to understand them much better than studying specimens collected by nets or trawls from ships,” Dr. Copley told the BBC. He went on to say, “And [it’s] helping us to investigate how our own lives are connected to this remote yet fragile environment.”
