ON THE FRONT COVER. A depiction of some of the many
platforms that scientists use to sample and sense the ocean,
including (from left to right) moorings, autonomous underwater
vehicles, CTD rosettes, and towed vehicles (not to scale). See
Govindarajan et al. (2023, in this supplement) to read about how
these platforms can be used to sample environmental DNA for
studies of the mesopelagic ocean. Illustration by Natalie Renier,
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
