Among the participants was a contingent of scientists, including Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences’s own Vice President for Research Beth Orcutt<\/strong>. Orcutt has attended several meetings of this body with the Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative, a global network of science ambassadors that has official observer status with the ISA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
