Scientists with the Ocean Census initiative and the Schmidt Ocean Institute have identified 57 previously unknown marine species in submarine canyons off Argentina's coast in the South Atlantic. The finds, fast-tracked through identification work in Buenos Aires, include 22 echinoderms such as sea cucumbers and crinoids, along with 20 copepods, highlighting how little is known about deep-sea biodiversity in the region.
Why now: The discovery of dozens of new species in a single expedition is striking news for marine science and ocean conservation.
