Have you ever wondered what the seafloor looks like in Alaska? Join us to learn about Alaska's deep-sea coral and sponge habitats, how we study them, and what it's like to be a student intern with NOAA's Deep Sea Coral Research Technology Program.
Did you know that corals live in the deep, cold waters of Alaska? Come learn about deep-sea corals and sponges, and their importance for underwater communities in Alaska.
