The Sustainable Seas
Expedition is an exciting undersea exploration project being launched
in 1999 by the National Geographic Society, in conjunction with the
U.S. National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA), and has
been likened to the Lewis and Clark Expedition that mapped the breadth
of the North American continent. In comparison, SSE
will be exploring never-before-seen depths of the Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans during visits with submersibles to the U.S. National Marine
Sanctuary system. RAIN serves as an interpretive services 'Outpost'
for this project
