Seafloor Investigations successfully completes the first two regional sampling cruises #1 & #2 of the 2022 BMJ Exploration Campaign. This field effort acquired over 80 boxcores seabed samples resulting in polymetallic nodules samples, environmental sediment samples, topwater biological samples, biological sediment samples, and megafauna specimen. These samples and the associated data were used to produce a regional geologic and environmental assessment of the BMJ claim areas.
