Thanks to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and Monterey Bay Aquarium for partnering with us on this episode of SciShow. All of the amazing deep-sea video you are about to see was taken with MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles! Head to http://mbari.org to learn more about their mission and latest research.
Deep in the ocean, fluffy bits of organic matter fall like snow. But this marine snow isn’t just pretty; it’s an essential part of our ocean food webs and our global climate!
