Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 Researchers study ocean canyons in marine sanctuary Exploring unseen habitats, cultural sites By ROB OLLIKAINEN Peninsula Daily News PORT ANGELES, Wash. — From one underwater can- yon to the next, the EV Nau- tilus is shedding new light on the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. After a brief personnel transfer at the entrance to Neah Bay, the 211-foot expe- dition vessel set sail for the Juan de Fuca Canyon to look for organisms and changes in ocean chemistry 1,000 feet below. The Nautilus is midway through a 2½-week study of the mostly unexplored Quinault, Quillayute and Juan de Fuca canyons off the coast of the Olympic Peninsula. The underwater surveys are being broadcast in real time at www.NautilusLive.org. “The highlight reels are going to be amazing,” said Jenny Waddell, Olympic Coast National Marine Sanc- tuary research coordinator and one of 31 members of the EV Nautilus science team. Using state-of-the-art remotely operated vehicles Hercules and Argus, the Nau- tilus crew is exploring unseen habitats, geological features OBITUARIES Doris Olive Snodgrass Seaside Feb. 8, 1920 — Aug. 22, 2017 allowed former USS Bugara Commanding Ofﬁ cer Ed Ettner, 96, to participate in the livestream and to share stories about his time on the sub. “It was a really big produc- tion,” Waddell said. “We had a lot of super senior people from the Navy helping to narrate.” The Nautilus is owned and operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust, a nonproﬁ t founded by oceanographer Capt. Robert Ballard. The 2017 survey of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary is a part- nership between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Ocean Explo- ration Trust and Quinault Indian Nation. The Quinault and other tribes will use information from the study in salmon recovery efforts. “The tribes are very much engaged in this process,” Wad- dell said. The ROVs and high-deﬁ - nition cameras are controlled from a command center on the Nautilus in a pair of inconspic- uous shipping containers. Most of the dives in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary occur at night between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. “The general public has the same experience that we’re having here on the ship,” Wishnak said. and cultural sites. Just prior to the transfer of four scientists, the ROVs inspected the USS Bugara, a Navy submarine that sank while under tow in 800 feet of water off Cape Flattery in 1971. “We’ve seen a lot of really cool stuff,” Waddell said during a tour of the research vessel. The Nautilus transmits real-time video from its ROVs to a satellite, allowing anyone with an internet connection to see the dives as they hap- pen and to ask questions of the scientists. “We’ve had a lot of peo- ple engaged,” said Samantha Wishnak, Nautilus communi- cations coordinator. “We’ve had thousands of people watching our dives.” The dives are focused on the 3 percent of the Olym- pic Coast National Marine Sanctuary that is considered hard-bottom habitat, mainly rocky slopes of the canyons that support long-living spe- cies such as coral and sponges. These surveys provide sci- entists with a sense of biologi- cal distribution, a “who’s who in the zoo,” Waddell said. “We have seen a couple of attempted predation events, which are always fun to catch,” Waddell said, “but nothing super-crazy surprising.” The communications technology on the Nautilus FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 72 57 57 Sunshine and patchy clouds Partly cloudy ALMANAC Times of clouds and sun Last New Sep 12 Coast Guard rescues hiker from Olympic National Forest Newport 56/68 Coos Bay 59/72 Ontario 57/99 Bend 58/92 Burns 51/97 Klamath Falls 55/86 Lakeview 56/85 Ashland 65/90 Forecasts and graphics provided by AccuWeather, Inc. ©2017 Tonight's Sky: Before dawn low east, Mercury and Mars will be seen in a close grouping with Regulus in Leo.
