Projects can entail conducting ocean exploration (e.g., mapping and characterizing ocean habitats, combining seismic and acoustic methods), advancing ocean exploration through the use or development of novel technologies (e.g., autonomous systems, nondestructive sensors, artificial intelligence/machine learning), and/or analysis of ocean exploration datasets or samples that already exist and are publicly accessible.</span></span></p></div><div type="paragraph" data-hook="rcv-block13"></div><div data-breakout="normal"><div class="n58GL wgYGg _3ea47 EsZzH" dir="auto" id="viewer-lv7ut3136" tabindex="-1"><span class="HWr-d"><br role="presentation"></span></div></div><div type="empty-line" data-hook="rcv-block14"></div><div data-breakout="normal"><p class="n58GL wgYGg _3ea47 EsZzH" dir="auto" id="viewer-forqk3181" tabindex="-1"><span class="HWr-d"><strong style="font-weight:700"><span>MARITIME HERITAGE:</span></strong><span> Maritime Heritage proposals should address the exploration for significant maritime heritage resources that improve our understanding of the past and inform decisions about management and preservation.
