Deep Dive: June 8 marks the UN’s World Oceans Day, a chance to raise global awareness of the critical role our seas play in the health and wellbeing of the planet.

While a lot of our focus and knowledge of the ocean is on the parts we can see, there are teams of scientists and researchers who are probing the deep sea, around three quarters of which remains unmapped and unexplored.

In today’s deep dive, Sacha Barbour Gatt is joined by the CSIRO’s Dr Will White to discuss the deep sea, the recent discovery of new species off the coast of Australia and why it matters.
