Ocean Encounters: A Window into the Twilight Zone

[@ivanvoltski]

This is super-cool! Amazing instrument

[@WHOI]

Want to know what it’s like to produce a film at sea or what lurks in the mysterious ocean twilight zone? Filmmaker Jennie Berglund and Oceanographer Andone Lavery, and her graduate student Rachel Kahn!, are here to answer your questions. Ask away!

[@aimeeevoliowlsaresocutewhe9121]

Loved the ‘ lesson’. The Ocean is fascinating!🐠🪼🦞🦑🐙

[@HarryAnderson-cv1cs]

The advanced tech in what I think of as 'Alvin' amazes & enthrals me!

[@cinth57]

Bravo! Great to see my old colleagues continuing to spread back the frontiers of science! Beautiful film.

[@marleymarlesmusic]

Fantastic film Jennie! Congrats!!

[@jejebah]

So glad you were able to be here!!! Thank you!! Hope things are going well, Marley!

[@sassandlace]

So fascinating, great job. Thanks for letting us watch

[@MichelleCusolito]

Thanks for this premier! Fascinating, as always.

[@kikeneyra31]

Fantastic!

[@adelinesvw]

Thats cool!

[@reimiranda3213]

This was a really awesome short film! It was incredibly interesting to see how the science is done and how many precautions there are when deploying such a valuable instrument. Do you also collect seafloor bathymetry on these missions?

[@jejebah]

So glad you liked the film! Very often bathymetry is collected on these cruises, but I do not believe that was done on this particular cruise. You'd have to ask Andone though.

[@gglreallysucks5512]

It makes me FURIOUS that there are fishing vessels exploiting this zone. Genuinely just disgusting.

[@jyy9624]

You will upchuck if you knew what else they do

[@jaquanhigh2769]

Super excited to see this!

[@sforza209]

When woods hole makes a better documentary then documentary makers Curiosity Stream.

[@maryjomiuccio3499]

Looking forward to seeing this!

[@samantham.7070]

Why?

[@fuadazminuddin4904]

Great job, WHOI👍 Hopefully someday I can be there studying and doing the science.

[@alanmerkle7417]

Hi, what is the name of the ship that launched 'Deep Sea'? Thank you

[@jejebah]

The NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow!

[@kestkr]

Dream job

[@washingtonbraga743]

I wonder how that particular location was selected among numerous others. Was it a random choice? The Alvin Canyon may be quite extense.

[@jejebah]

You would have to ask the scientists, but my understanding is that the site was selected because it was well-known, and it was the shortest distance from Newport to the shelf break, which is where we can enter twilight zone depths.

[@steveparks6439]

Very informative video, fascinating actually-who knew? Is it possible to declare the Twilight Zone a World Class Historical Site or even an Ocean National Park? Don’t laugh, in Laguna Beach, CA., we created a natural ocean park area that helped keep oil platforms from our distant shores. Congratulation on your success and research.

[@Kroggnagch]

I want to work there... I'm so serious. I would love to even be a part of the rigging crew and help the submersible get out of and back in to the ship's docking port, operating a hook and latch, I'd be so super satisfied just to be a part of the team even as a laborer. How fascinating this research is! I could watch videos like this all day and night, I LOVE this type of exploration, furthering our understanding of the oceans and the ecosystems there within. I hope to the Heavenly Father we, humans, do NOT abuse this region of the oceans as we have every other aspect of them. Our oceans deserve so much more respect than what we humans have collectively given her, she's not a garbage dump, nor a free-for-all fishing hatchery, her resources are limited and delicately balanced and we've been disrupting them for literal centuries and it's increasing exponentially as we become more technologically advanced. It saddens me deeply and I wish so very badly more people were aware and concious of the utmost necessity for conservatory habits, which should be commonplace but are scarce among many nations. Our Earth is sick, and we are, largely, the cause... 😔🥺😥😢😫😖

cant wait

[@chrismoore2194]

Aye aye Captain Taylor

[@jennettebarnes8790]

Question from a 6-year-old viewer: How did you build the technology for the deep-sea vehicle?

[@WHOI]

Hi there! Learn more about our Deep-See vehicle here: twilightzone.whoi.edu/deep-see/

[@sergioaragon52]

que lo traduzcan al español.gracias

[@isabellahdinardo3083]

woo hoo

[@mr.grumpyspider7874]

What if its like Dante Inferno?

[@petermaclearn3227]

How are these small and microscopic marine organisms, as featured in this film, and that exist at these depths, marketable?

[@christopherbassett9810]

My understand is that the commercial markets for smaller organisms is primarily limited to products like fish oil and fish meal. Markets exist for other small organisms like krill.

[@jejebah]

Hi all! You can continue asking questions here if you have them!

[@alanmerkle7417]

Hi, what is the name of the ship that launched 'Deep Sea'? Thank you

[@albert_merchant]

I WISH DOCUMENTS WOULD STOP OVER DRAMATIZING. JUST EXPLAIN NO NEED TO TRY MAKING IT MORE EXCITING

[@ChantelStays]

....the loss of comm was 100 percent...*aliens*

[@TheReepe]

this video is too long for youtube

[@possum2620]

Not time, race against humans

[@Bungowumperpuss]

Against the Chinese

[@mmneander1316]

Congratulations video, you managed to bring in the leftist politics already within the first minute.

[@tealynx]

Ah yes, because rushing to learn about ocean life before that life is gone is politics.
