When we talk about Galapagos we always think of Darwin, giant tortoises and finches. But few outside Galapagos know about the Scalesia plants, commonly known as Darwin’s giant daisies.

The deep ocean of the Eastern Tropical Pacific hosts unique ecosystems, including seamounts, deep reefs, and abyssal habitats. These environments support remarkable biodiversity, regulate climate, and connect migratory species. Scientific research is essential to discover new species, understand ecological processes, and strengthen conservation against growing environmental threats.
