Have you ever wondered what the seafloor looks like in Alaska? Join us to learn about Alaska's deep-sea coral and sponge habitats, how we study them, and what it's like to be a student intern with NOAA's Deep Sea Coral Research Technology Program.

Did you know that corals live in the deep, cold waters of Alaska? Come learn about deep-sea corals and sponges, and their importance for underwater communities in Alaska. We will talk about how we study these cold water creatures, how they have adapted to this environment, and how they eat and grow. The webinar is about 60 minutes long with moderated questions and answers throughout. Aimed at grades 2-8, but all ages will enjoy.
