Life in the Arctic includes organisms living in the ice, zooplankton and phytoplankton, fish and marine mammals, birds,

Lobsters belong to a class of marine animals.

pinch a minnow, hurt a whale.

So stay tuned for further information.

So it could have a negative impact on the whole population.

(Laughter)

We made a chip that has every known virus ever discovered on it.

And we're letting industry run the show.

Well, I could stand here for hours, but, of course, I'm not allowed to do that.

We're only just beginning to understand how the physical oceanography and the biological oceanography come together to create a seasonal force that actually causes the upwelling that might make a hot spot a hope spot.

I've taken them camping in the kelp forests of California.

Algae. It infected marine life.

Think about cars, food, houses, fauna, flora.

But it's an animal that's about 98 percent in decline throughout most of its range.

Keep that in mind.

Dr. Satoshi Takada. Marine biologist. Lieutenant Commander for the Navy since 1997.

I've been working on ocean pollution for quite a long time the impacts on marine life and particularly the impacts on marine mammals.

It provides a surface for things in the ocean, and this surface, which is covered by seaweeds and other organisms in the ocean, will become enhanced marine habitat so it increases biodiversity.

We can also use satellite tags to track animals as they move through the oceans.

A strange marine creature was found recently.

We have really no idea.

We'll look at sea level rise.

And that's why biodiversity data can be so valuable.

If you're in IT, India, obviously, is the place to be at the moment.

She studies marine biology.

For as long as I can remember,

Now, not so much. (Laughter)

So one of the things we discovered is where are the hot spots of diversity?

The equalization of the oceanic

And the list of scientific applications is growing every day.

like black carbon, that is soot.

Well, there's also another program, in another agency within our government, in ocean exploration.

I wound up studying sea birds to try to stay in the coastal habitats that I so loved.

And there are a lot of other pressures.

We'll look at ocean warming.

I study it because I think understanding it is critical to understanding life in the ocean where most bioluminescence occurs.

That's a sea sponge that has a fiber optic.

But unfortunately, CCAMLR, the regional commission in charge of conserving and managing fish stocks and other living marine resources, is unfortunately starting to give in to fishing interests and has authorized the expansion of toothfish fisheries in the region.

It's open access you can all go in and download data as you wish.

Now in a second project called Tagging of Pacific Pelagics, we took on the planet as a team, those of us in the Census of Marine Life.

Japan is also surrounded by oceans.
