Description:"In 2010, the NOAA Deep-Sea Coral Research and Technology Program (DSCRTP) initiated a three year study to advance our understanding of DSC off the west coast of the U.S. As part of this study, we conducted a cruise during Fall 2010, which focused on the biology and ecology of the Christmas tree black coral and their use by demersal fishes on three deep offshore banks in the SCB (Hidden Reef, Footprint, and Piggy Bank). Our report provides a summary of the methods and results from underwater surveys of these coral colonies and associated habitats, sponges, and fishes. These surveys were a collaborative effort among researchers from the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) and the University of California Santa Barbara"--Page 2.
