Ocean Census aims to identify 100,000 unknown species in the next 10 years, allowing scientists to better understand and protect the deep-sea ecosystem.
— Researchers have embarked on an ambitious global initiative to discover and record marine life hidden in the world's oceans.
The initiative builds on past projects such as the Census of Marine Life, which concluded in 2010 and identified 6,000 potential new ocean species. "You can now look at in the water column and see what the morphology is and study them in situ," said Jyotika Virmani, the executive director of the Schmidt Ocean Institute in Palo Alto, California, which will participate in the project.
While many of the species discovered are likely to be on the smaller end of the scale, Virmani noted that the world's longest sea creature was only discovered in 2020 off the coast of Western Australia — a 150-foot stringlike animal known as a siphonophore.
