Bering Sea Underwater Documentation

A Greenpeace team on the ship MY Esperanza spends two months in the Bering Sea, conducting scientific surveys of underwater canyons and working with native Alaskan communities to campaign for sustainable fishing practices in the area. By utilising state-of-the-art technology to observe coral, sponges and hopefully discover new species, and through gaining the support of native communities, Greenpeace will push for greater protection of the Bering waters.
