The R/V Sea Explorer is a 70-foot floating laboratory with five distinct teaching areas fully equipped with video microscopes, touch tanks, viewing aquariums, and state-of-the-art electronics.

The R/V Sea Explorer works with the State of California monitoring blooms of plankton that might be dangerous to human populations. Some plankton produce a biotoxin that can be fatal if ingested. R/V Sea Explorer is part of this statewide program.
