Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have a *huge* potential in naval warfare but manufacturers seem blind to this, so it probably won't happen.

MBARI researchers used ROVs to study pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) mothers nesting near warm seafloor springs. Unlike other deep-sea octopuses, their eggs hatched in under two years. The extra warmth boosted metabolism of the moms and their broods.

This long-armed jewel squid (Stigmatoteuthis dofleini) was observed at 840 meters (2,760 feet) on the outer Monterey Canyon. This species is a close relative of the strawberry squid (Histioteuthis heteropsis), but sightings by MBARI's ROVs are much less common.

Hi, I'm Katie. I'm a marine geologist focused on circulation in #hydrothermal systems. I've done a LOT of fieldwork at sea and love it. ROVs, AUVs, & HOVs, worked with em all for science.

The seven-armed octopus, Haliphron atlanticus, has only been observed by MBARI’s ROVs three times in more than three decades. This one was holding the bell of an egg-yolk jellyfish in its arms—perhaps using its meal for defense or to help catch more prey.

"During today's dive, our ROVs were attacked by an unknown deep-sea animal, likely seeing us as a territorial threat. ROV Valiant sustained major damage to flotation pack and could not reemerge. ROV Intrepid received minor damage."

But I did the RoVs until I got here just to get the exp boost!

I use a mix of old (historical photos, maps) and new (drones, ROVs) to document change in nearshore ecosystems. Follow along for more kelpy content!
