Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 53, No. 1, pg. 14:
A harmless green dye, acting as a mimic for oil, spreads in Buzzards Bay, Mass., behind the research vessel Discovery. Top right: WHOI engineer Amy Kukulya and a Discovery crew member deploy the easy-to-handle autonomous underwater vehicle called REMUS. Middle: A hose releases dye as REMUS waits. Bottom: REMUS starts to hunt for oil and detect where it is and is not spreading.
