Velero III was a motor vessel built for George Allan Hancock at Craig Shipbuilding, Long Beach, California, with the intention of using the vessel for both business and research. Hancock was a donor to the University of Southern California with Velero III eventually becoming R/V Velero III in research associated with the university and a sculpture of the vessel appears on the Hancock Institute for Marine Studies at U.S.C. The ship was purchased for war use by the Navy on December 15, 1941 and being commissioned as the USS Chalcedony designated PYC-16 on weather duty for the Hawaiian Sea Frontier.
Mangelia hancocki is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Mangeliidae. This fossil was discovered in the Galapagos Islands by Leo George Hertlein (1898–1972) and Archibald McClure Strong, who were there as a part of the Valero III's voyage to the tropical eastern Pacific. It was named for Captain G. Allan Hancock, the owner and captain of the Valero III. There are only two known collections of this species, both by Leo George Hertlein.
Desmarestia tropica, sometimes called tropical acidweed, is a species of seaweed in the family Desmarestiaceae. It is critically endangered, possibly extinct, and one of only fifteen protists evaluated by IUCN. Endemic to the Galápagos Islands, the specific epithet tropica alludes to its tropical habitat, rare for members of Desmarestiales. The common name acidweed applies to members of the genus Desmarestia, generally characterized by fronds containing vacuoles of concentrated sulfuric acid, but it is unclear if this species also produces acid.
Zosterocarpus abyssicola is a species of brown algae endemic to the Galapagos islands.
William Randolph Taylor was an American botanist known as an expert in phycology.
Irene Agnes McCulloch was a marine biologist and USC biological sciences professor. McCulloch started at the University of Southern California in 1924 where the marine biology research department lacked funding and resources. To better the research being done, McCulloch convinced George Allan Hancock to fund the G. Allan Hancock Foundation for Marine Research, which was then renamed the Hancock Institute for Marine Studies. McCulloch was given her own foundation in 1969 at USC to continue marine biology research. McCulloch studied microbes within the Pacific Ocean with her main focus being foraminifera.
Battersia arctica is a species of algae belonging to the family Sphacelariaceae. In Iceland, it is listed as a critically endangered species (CR).
Galaxaura rugosa is a species of red algae in the family Galaxauraceae. The species is the type species of its genus, Galaxaura. The species is found in the Pacific and Indian oceans, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Macaronesia.
