SIDNEY, BC, July 15, 2019 /CNW/ - Fisheries and Oceans Canada scientists will be available for media interviews prior to departing on a two-week expedition to survey and monitor Canada's largest seamount, known as Explorer Seamount.

Throughout the mission, the team will livestream their research from as deep as 2000 metres using a submersible drop camera platform. Canadians are encouraged to tune in to the live feed and ask questions to the scientists aboard.
