 Life at Hydrothermal Vents
Organisms have been found living in conditions once thought to be incompatible with life, using unfamiliar physiologic and metabolic adaptations.
|  Life at the Poles
By human standards, they are extreme environments. Yet life not only persists in the Arctic and Antarctic circles...it thrives.
|  Right Whales
The right whale is the most endangered great whale, with fewer than 300 in the North Atlantic.
|  Life on Seamounts
Seamounts, underwater mountains found
throughout the global ocean, host coral communities and provide diverse habitats for marine life,
such as sponges, crabs, sea anemones, and commercially important fish.
|  Living Marine Resources
The wet two-thirds of the Earth harbors bountiful living marine resources.
