A team of Census taxonomic experts study biodiversity. A team of Census taxonomic experts traveled to French Frigate Shoals to study biodiversity in the world's largest, fully protected marine area, the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, locally known as Papahanaumokuakea. Using a variety of new and proven methods over a diverse range of habitats, the team recorded more than 100 species records, finding many species possibly new to science, and others where they were never before seen.
