Image taken by Greenpeace during a mapping survey of the Arctic Ocean, north of Svalbard (Norway). Start position: 80° 55.6 N, 18¡ 33.8 E end position: 80° 55.1 N, 18¡ 33.2 E depth range (m): 160-180. The underwater ecosystem deep in this region, is largely unknown to scientists. The region is under pressure from fishing fleets moving northwards, eager to exploit new fishing grounds revealed by melting sea ice, caused by climate change.Locations:Arctic OceanDate:26 Jun, 2010Credit:© Gavin Newman / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3000px X 2008pxKeywords:Biodiversity-Feather stars-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Outdoors-Research-Sea anemones-Seabeds-Sponges-Underwater shotsShoot:Arctic Under Pressure Expedition - SeabedGreenpeace uses state of the art recording techniques to explore the little known seabed of the Arctic Ocean, north of Svalbard. Their cameras reveal a seabed rich in biodiversity. By sending visual imagery (with location and depth data attached) back from the ship by satellite phone, they will share their findings of this unique place with the scientific community. Greenpeace is calling for this area of the Arctic Ocean historically protected year round by sea ice to be closed to all industrial activity, including destructive fishing.Related Collections:Arctic Under Pressure Expedition - Full Set (Photo & Videos)
