The Phoenix Islands Protected Area is the largest and deepest World Heritage Site on earth, and it is located in the Central Pacific, where the international dateline meets the equator (X marks the spot).
The New England Aquarium has been involved with this special place since 2000, and a 2015 expedition conducted research on climate change and the current El Niņo, the impacts of old shipwrecks on coral reefs, and the health of shark populations (among other things).
Come hear a subset of expedition members tell their tale of time spent on the high seas, and their adventures (and findings) from one of the most remote reefs on the planet.
