Description:
"During this mission, the science party was able to make much progress toward characterizing two deep-reef systems (>1000 ft) comprised almost entirely of Lophelia pertusa, a branching tree-like coral that forms expansive banks along the continental slope. Scientists were able to collect enough information on habitat, species and ecology, to determine that the invertebrate and fish communities were very different between the two systems, despite only being separated by 50 miles"--Mission summary home page.
