A group of marine biologists are living and working deep beneath the surface of the sea in a research station off the coast of Florida. They’re studying the health of nearby coral reefs and broadcasting their findings live to students all over the world. Dr. Mark Patterson is the chief scientist of the mission. He joins us from 20,000 millimeters under the sea.
