Ocean Planet Exhibition Floorplan
Smithsonian scientists, this husband-and-wife team have traveled around the world to investigate the structure and function of coral reefs, and the productivity and evolution of marine plants. The Littlers have published a color guidebook to Caribbean seaweeds and have earned a place in the Guiness Book of World Records for discovering the deepest plant life on earth--an alga in the Bahamas, flourishing 268 meters below the water's surface.
"Coral reefs are the marine equivalent of tropical rainforests, and we can study the animals without disturbing them."
