Oceans cover 70% of the Earth while sedimentary habitats cover most of the ocean bottom (ranging from gravel to fine muds), making this the largest ecosystem on our planet in areal coverage. Surface sediment bacteria play a significant ecological and biogeochemical role in marine ecosystems due to their high abundance relative to the overlying water column, and they play a key role in the decomposition of the organic matter, nutrient…

Megalodon CCR All monitoring dives are conducted using Megalodon Closed circuit rebreathers (CCR) to don’t disturb the fish, increased bottom time and safety. We return to the monitoring sites using a GPS coordinates and in water recognition of the site. There is no return to the exact transect although the transects are done within the same site.Fish Census- four transects of 25 m’ each are conducted at every site. Every…
