Scientists in Indonesia, decided that they would use “cutting edge technology” to explore the waters, and ocean floors of Indonesia, to see what new organism that they could possibly find. The scientists used a mixture of still photo cameras, and video cameras to take over 100 hours of video, and 100,000 pictures, whilst on their three week expedition under Indonesian waters. The underwater adventure showed many scientists across the world a new world, and it also took newcomers to the marine world, into an old, but little known marine ecosystem. While on the three week journey, scientists were said to have found sea spiders that ranged from 4-8 inches in length, and other crawling organisms as well.
This article relates to science and biology, because when people think of marine biology, the first thought that comes to peoples minds is the aquarium. Although the aquarium is an ecosystem in itself, there are many other ecosystems out there in the world that have many organisms that have never been documented, or discovered that live in waters that have never been explored, or even thought of. This article keeps an open mind too the many undocumented organisms that are out in the ocean at this time living in their own special ecosystem that has never been seem before.
This information would most likely have been put in the newspaper because it is in much interest to people who are professors, and for students that are in college, who are interested in marine biology, and the different organisms that live in different parts of the earth. This information is also helpful to the public, because it keeps the public up to date on the findings of scientists and researchers that are around the world as well.
