The Hanse Explorer crew used a remotely operated underwater vehicle, or ROV, capable of diving to depths greater than 300 feet (91 meters). The ROV helped the crew document life in the waters off all nine countries bordering the Baltic. View other images of Baltic Sea life in a photo gallery of Oceana’s 2011 expedition.
