The ocean covers 70% of our planet, and the deep sea makes up about 90% of the ocean, making this the largest living space on Earth. Despite darkness, intense pressure, and extreme cold, countless species of fishes, squids, corals, octopuses, sponges, jellies, and microbes thrive in the midwaters and deep sea. Scientists deploy a remarkable array of underwater tools to make discoveries, find new species, and learn more about the enormous impact of this remote habitat on the health and well-being of our planet. This webinar reveals what scientists are learning about this mysterious and important underwater realm.

Enrollment for 2026 Medicare plans begins on October 15, so mark your calendar for this timely seminar. Then join Daphne for answers about all things Medicare.
