Probing the Ocean Depths

Edie Widder, a marine biologist, discusses her innovative work in ocean exploration. She highlights the limited exploration of the ocean and the outdated methods traditionally used. Inspired by bioluminescent marine life, she developed a new camera system using far red light and an electronic jellyfish to attract predators. This system was tested in the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the discovery of a new squid species. Her work emphasizes the potential of bioluminescence in advancing marine research.
