Part one: The BioNauts are introduced to scientists who study and monitor three of Bermuda’s marine habitats: our seagrass meadows (with Kim Holzer), our coral reefs (with Dr. Alex Venn) and the deep ocean that surrounds the island (with Vivienne Lockhead).
Part two: The BioNauts set up a feeding experiment with the help of researcher Kali Douglas. Together, they deploy seagrass fronds in three different locations around the island (a seagrass meadow, a mangrove swamp and a coral reef) and return 24 hours later to collect them. What, if anything, will have eaten the seagrass?
Part three. The BioNauts take time out to go octopus hunting with Dr. James Wood — at night! The next day it’s back to work as the BioNauts go scuba diving with Dr. Alex Venn as part of the coral reef monitoring programme and learn how to control a remotely operated vehicle!
Part four. The BioNauts set sail upon the R/V HSBC Atlantic Explorer! With the help of marine technician Jonathon Whitefield they deploy a deep sea plankton tow to 800 metres (2,600 feet) and learn how the CTD rosette samples the water column on it’s way to the bottom of the ocean. Back on dry land the BioNauts begin work on the 100 year-long forest restoration project at Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve.
Part five. The BioNauts take another break to study a raft of Sargussum seaweed that has washed up at the BIOS dock. Then it’s onto the results of their experiments; what ate the seagrass and why? Why is it important to study our coral reefs? What can monitoring the deep ocean around Bermuda tell scientists about the global climate?
In 1926 The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo (BAMZ) was established by the Bermuda Government to enhance a growing tourism industry. Since that time the Aquarium has become a leader in environmental education and conservation.
Three years ago Bermuda-based Producer/Director Andrew Stevenson embarked on what seemed like an interesting and challenging project to film the North Atlantic humpback whales underwater in the middle of their mid-ocean migratory crossings.
The humpback whales have since become an overriding passion. Come share his journey, told through the eyes of his 6-year old daughter, Elsa.
Chris Blake (captain of the Spirit of Bermuda until 2008) runs us through the ropes of one of Bermuda’s finest sea ventures; the magnificent Bermudian sloop, “Spirit of Bermuda.”
The Spirit of Bermuda is run by The Bermuda Sloop Foundation, a registered Bermuda Charity whose primary mission is the education and development of Bermuda’s young people using ocean sail training.
The ultimate social vision is teams of cohesive, yet diverse, young Bermudians, impelled out of their familiar environments, having succeeded in new and demanding challenges – their improved feelings of self-worth, leadership and teamwork of great benefit to the individuals and society generally.
