Bob Ballard

Bob Ballard is a unique oceanographer who explores the ocean for unknown artifacts. Ballard has participated in about 120 expeditions in his life. His first when he was only seventeen years old. Bob Ballard has created robotic technology to send down into the ocean to make the discoveries more possible. Lots of time and effort are put into the NOAA program in order to explore the depths of the ocean. Ballard believes that exploring the ocean leads to discoveries that could positively affect our world. Many volcanoes have been uncovered as well as different sea creatures and plants. Although many discoveries are made, NOAA has a difficult time with expenses. I believe that NOAA deserves more money in order to pursue further involvement in the exploration of the ocean.
