Here's a side of ocean research--and our research vessel--that you don't see every day: cleaning the hull. Marine organisms like bacteria, algae, barnacles, and worms are constantly trying to colonize hard submerged surfaces--like ships. And it happens even faster in warm waters. During our expedition in the Gulf of Oman, our crew had to tackle some buildup that was interfering with the scientific and mapping sensors on the ship's hull, so that we could get back to doing science. | OceanX
