Friday Squid Blogging: Investigating Underwater Ecosystems

Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) are using advanced sonar and underwater cameras to investigate the ecosystems of the deep ocean.

Bottom line: The use of advanced sonar and underwater cameras is revealing new insights into the behavior and habitats of deep-sea creatures, including the colossal squid.

What's happening: Researchers from NOAA and WHOI have been using advanced sonar and underwater cameras to investigate the ecosystems of the deep ocean, including the Mariana Trench. In 2019, a team from the National Geographic Society partnered with the Deep Sea Exploration Partnership to conduct a deep-sea expedition to the Mariana Trench. The expedition used advanced sonar and underwater cameras to map the seafloor and observe the behavior of deep-sea creatures.

What to do: Security leaders should consider implementing similar technologies to enhance their organization's cybersecurity capabilities, including advanced threat detection and incident response tools.
