Research vessel Hydra exploring Cayman waters
A month-long scientific expedition in Cayman waters is providing new insights into one of the least understood marine environments: the mesophotic reef ecosystem, the transition zone between shallow coral reefs and the deep sea.
The research vessel Hydra, registered in the Cayman Islands and currently operating off North West Point, Grand Cayman, is in local waters through mid-June as part of a five-year regional research programme led by marine research organisation Inkfish, founded by Gabe Newell.
