Deep Sea Collections: Public Engagement and Citizen Scientists with Greg Rouse - Exploring Ethics

Ever wonder what lives in the deepest parts of the ocean? Curious
how many species of fish swim under the waves? Collections like
those at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) are a way
for everyone to engage and understand the world underwater. Greg
Rouse, curator of the Benthic Invertebrate Collection at SIO,
shares how collections can effectively communicate with the public
and make science accessible to all. He also discusses how programs
like SeadragonSearch, a community-based research initiative with a
mission to collect data about wild seadragon populations across
Australia through underwater photography, can encourage citizen
scientists and enable new discoveries. Series: "Exploring Ethics"
