Description
Researchers at florida atlantic university propose an expedition on the r/v F.G. Walton smith to explore marine habitats surrounding puerto rico and the U.S. Virgin islands with the specific goal of identifying marine organisms with bioactive natural products that can benefit pharmaceutical and biomedical research tool production. Previous expeditions have highlighted areas of rich chemical biodiversity that the authors plan to explore using mohawk, a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) system with the capability to collect organisms such as sponges, octocorals, and algae. They identified the geographical region as an area with minimal exploration for biopharmaceutical potential and plan to establish a long-term resource for research and development that will include frozen specimens, a chemical library, a library of microorganisms, cryopreserved sponge cells, and a DNA library. Imagery, video, data, and physical samples will be collected to document the explored habitats.
