The National Geographic Sea Lion vessel sits poised against a backdrop of dense primary rainforest in Costa Rica's Golfo Dulce. Expedition teams aboard this purpose-built ship document the extraordinary biodiversity where mountains meet sea in this tropical fjord-like estuary ecosystem. Small Zodiac boats alongside allow researchers to venture into shallow estuaries and coastal inlets inaccessible to larger vessels, enabling comprehensive studies of a region that harbors 2.5% of the world's biodiversity despite covering less than 0.001% of its land surface.
