US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Post

Whoops! Didn't mean to scare you there — was just paying a visit to the EPA Diving team. 🦈 #EPADivers are data gatherers, note takers, and photographers that observe and document changes to aquatic environments. EPA Divers participate in diverse activities, such as: 🔬 Sampling submerged drums of unknown materials 🗺️ Mapping illegal underwater dump sites 🐟 Inspecting waste discharges from seafood processing facilities 🪸 Assessing the health of seagrass meadows, coral reefs, and other important marine habitats Learn more about scientific diving, and the EPA Divers team: https://www.epa.gov/diving #SharkWeek
