With priority placed on the exploration of deep waters, NOAA Ocean Exploration applies the latest tools and technologies to explore previously unknown areas of the ocean, making discoveries of scientific, economic, and cultural value. As both a valuable cultural resource and habitat for marine organisms, NOAA Ocean Exploration’s priorities include maritime archaeology and the discovery of our underwater cultural heritage (UCH). Between 2024 and 2026, NOAA Ocean Exploration and partners will conduct exploratory seafloor mapping and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) explorations in the Pacific Basin. This article details the tools, technologies, and typical datasets collected by our program and opportunities for the Asia-Pacific community of archaeologists, historians, and resource managers to contribute to our UCH research prioritization and participate in our live, publicly accessible telepresence-enabled operations. Using this community-driven archaeology model, we ensure this exploratory work will have the greatest impact and provide a publicly accessible platform for sharing our common cultural heritage. NOAA Ocean Exploration is dedicated to exploring the unknown ocean, unlocking its potential through scientific discovery, technological advancements, and data delivery. By working closely with partners across the public, private, and academic sectors, we are filling gaps in our basic understanding of the marine environment. This allows us, collectively, to protect ocean health, sustainably manage our marine resources, accelerate our national economy, better understand our changing environment, and enhance our appreciation of the importance of the ocean in our everyday lives
