Hudson Canyon, the largest deep-sea canyon off the coast of New York, is a biological treasure trove teeming with marine life, and now you can be among the first to see its depths in real time. Coral scientists, ecologists, and ocean explorers been investigating the canyon's rich and under-explored ecosystems. Using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Global Explorer, the team has captured high-definition video, collect physical samples, and gather environmental DNA to reveal the canyon's diverse marine communities—from swordfish and bluefin tuna to summer flounder, deep-water octopus, corals, and even microorganisms. Join us on Tuesday, September 23 at Noon EDT for this special 45-minute edition, featuring insights from artist Anita Glesta and Wildlife Conservation Society's archivist Madeline Thompson.
