Description:

Deepwater coral communities are hotspots of diversity and biomass. Most deep-sea coral species are long-lived and slow-growing and are, thus, expected to recover slowly after disturbance. A better understanding of the recovery potential of these organisms is necessary to make appropriate management decisions.
