Filming of deep-sea fauna has been done for several nature documentaries, including the BBC´s Blue Planet II series. An extensive deep-sea footage archive has been created during many years of diving and filming with the LULA1000 submersible.
Joint research projects are being carried out with a number of national and international research partners.
In situ documentation of deep-sea fauna and habitats is used for scientific and educational purposes.
