Deep Downunder: designing a deep-sea exploration and discovery capability for Australia.

使用Deep-Downunder开发的现代技术进行深海勘探是澳大利亚的第一次。我们的目标是探索和发现大堡礁50- 3000米深处的生命，豪勋爵岛和塔斯马尼亚的海山周围以及西澳和南澳的深峡谷。我们希望发现新物种，希望在家里看到巨型鱿鱼，并回答有关澳大利亚海洋生物学，渔业和生物技术的具体问题，这些问题以前从未接近过。为了成为澳大利亚沃茨的有效守护者，我们必须了解我们从船上看不到的深处有什么。

Exploration of the deep-sea with the modern technologies to be developed by Deep-Downunder is a first for Australia. We aim to explore and discover life at depths from 50-3000m off The Great Barrier Reef, around the seamounts of Lord Howe Island and Tasmania and in the deep canyons of WA and SA. We expect to discover new species, hope for a glimpse of giant squid at home and will answer specific questions on Australia's ocean biology, fisheries and biotechnology never before approachable. To be effective guardians of Australian waters we must learn what lies in the depths we can't see from a boat.
