Description:

The two primary goals of this mission were to study two distinct and unique habitats: 1) the outer shelf hardgrounds in water depths of 80-200 m that are characterized by rocky outcrops, hard-bottom "pavement", pinnacles, and sand channels; and 2) reef banks of Lophelia-type corals found on the middle continental shelf in water depths of 400-500 m. 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.
