Researchers from Universiti Malaysia Sabah have teamed up with the OceanX research vessel to study ocean waters down to 1,500 metres. Using submersibles, seafloor mapping tools and environmental DNA sampling, the team is collecting deep-sea data intended to be connected with shallower coral reef research, shedding light on marine ecosystems off Malaysia's Sabah coast.

Why now: The striking footage and rare glimpse of deep-sea exploration off Malaysia are drawing public interest in marine science.
