Research operations with OCEANA included 5 days of
successfully diving an ROV on a number of the oceans reefs
off of the Southern Oregon Coast. It involved launching,
tending and recovering the tethered ROV and required
holding station over a dive site from between one half an hour
to one and one half hours. With the joint effort between their
scientific team and our crew we were able to accomplish their
goals and gathered video data from down as far as 223m.

Oceana's Vision
We look to a future in which dolphin sightings are common along any
temperate coast; in which mighty marlins, sharks and tuna are abundant once
again; in which whales and sea turtles thrive, cod are plentiful on both sides
of the Atlantic, local fishing cultures thrive rather than decline and in which
fish are a safe, growing and plentiful source of food around the world.
Oceana is the largest international organization working solely to protect the
world’s oceans. Oceana wins policy victories for the oceans using science-
based campaigns. Since 2001, we have protected over 1.2 million square miles
of ocean and innumerable sea turtles, sharks, dolphins and other sea
creatures. More than 500,000 supporters have already joined Oceana. Global in
scope, Oceana has offices in North, South and Central America and Europe
