Researchers study ocean
canyons in marine sanctuary
Exploring
unseen habitats,
cultural sites

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

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.”
