Live from MBARI

A farewell tribute to the research vessel Point Lobos

For over 20 years, the Point Lobos has been MBARI's workhorse research vessel, ferrying the remotely operated vehicle Ventana out of Moss Landing Harbor several times a week. During a remarkable 3,697 cruises, the Point Lobos helped researchers record thousands of hours of video, identify dozens of strange and unusual animals, and deploy hundreds of instruments in the depths of Monterey Bay. On December 1, 2011, the Point Lobos completed its final research cruise.
