Susan Poulton

Susan Poulton is a prominent oceanographer and a key figure in the Ocean Discovery League, an organization dedicated to enhancing the understanding of the deep ocean. She emphasizes the critical need for visual observations of the seabed as a fundamental part of ocean exploration, arguing that current methods like mapping and environmental DNA sampling provide only a limited understanding of marine ecosystems. Poulton advocates for greater collaboration between industry and science to make vital data available, aiming to address the significant gaps in our knowledge of the ocean's depths.
