Corals in Concert: 2017 Deep Sea Symphony
Deepsea coral and sponge communities are often hot spots of biodiversity, providing important habitat for life within deep ocean waters. As the ocean knows no boundaries, NOAA has a responsibility to study these communities both inside and outside of U. S. waters. The area explored in the Musicians Seamounts during the DeepSea Symphony expedition hosted some of the mostdense coral and sponge communities encountered throughout the entire CAPSTONE project in the Pacific.
