The ocean covers over 70% of our planet, and yet, we\u2019ve only mapped about a tenth of it. We know more about the far side of the moon than we know about our own ocean! In this episode, Tai explores the deep ocean to learn about its mysteries and what survives in its darkest corners.\n\nThis week Tai spoke with:\n- Verena Tunnicliffe, a marine biologist who has spent 30 years studying all the weird and wacky animals that thrive on the bottom of the ocean\n- Melissa Omand, Assistant Professor of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island. She\u2019s an explorer who uses robots to explore the ocean depths\n- Bob Dziak, NOAA\u2019s acoustic engineer, who has dropped sound recorders into places like the Mariana Trench.\n\nFor transcripts of this series, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/podcastnews/tai-asks-why-transcripts-listen-1.6747759
