Ever wondered what’s creeping around in the Deepest Parts of the Gulf of Mexico
If you have any interest in the marine life and the species that are living thousands of feet down in water, you must know that the answers are going to be bigshocking for you to watch.
For the love of marine life and exploration regarding the different types surviving deep in the Gulf of Mexico a mission was conducted in December 2017 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to capture the beauty of the unseen species in pictures.
The crew on board the Okeanos Explorer plotted the seafloor over 6,500 feet below sea level. In the result of this mission many amazing pictures have been captured that have not been witnessed by a common person ever.
These are pictures of some of the amazing marine species taken during the mission:
1. Looped tip of Bamboo Coral
During their mission NOAA’s divers got this picture of spiral tip of bamboo coral growing out of seafloor deposit. This nature’s eye-catching beauty is fount thousands of feet under water. This beauty must be breath taking when experienced live.
2. A condensed Community of Sea Stars
This amazing picture captured by NOAA’s team shows how amazingly these sea stars have made this rock their home and gathered on it in a calm and quiet manner.
3. A Sea Toad
