During Dive 01 of the second Voyage to the Ridge 2022 expedition, we collected a limited number of biological samples for later analysis. Here, the manipulator arm of remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer reaches to collect a piece of an interesting demosponge in the genus Haliclona at a depth of 583 meters (1,913 meters). While this sponge has been observed elsewhere in the region, scientists had not previously been able to collect a sample of the sponge to verify its identity.
