Caption from 2024 WHOI Wall Calendar, May:
Human-occupied vehicle Alvin surfaces after exploring newly-discovered coral reefs in the Galápagos Marine Reserve in April 2023, photographed by Alvin Group lead Bruce Strickrott. The extensive, ancient deep-sea coral reefs here are the first of their kind to be documented inside the marine protected area since it was established in 1998. WHOI emeritus Daniel Fornari co-led the expedition. In this photo Alvin engineer Matt Skorina and R/V Atlantis crewmember Mike Sessa are swimmers in the recovery process, talking to Alvin pilot Nick O’Sadcia inside the sub, and Atlantis chief mate Eric Piper is the small boat coxswain.
