Dive into the world of shipwrecks with Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser, a benthic ecologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Kirstin is giving an intro to everything shipwrecks, and zooming in on the shipwrecks that she studies. Her area of study is Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in Massachusetts, USA.
Kirstin's biggest curiosities lie in island communities. Island communities are not just what you think of - tropical islands where the sun is always shining. For some organisms an island can be a shipwreck, isolated at the bottom of the ocean. Kirstin seeks to answer the question of "Who is living at the bottom, and how did you get here?"
