Inventory and review of artificial substrates to support coral propagation in mesophotic and deep benthic communities
To date, the development and selection of artificial substrates for mesophotic and deep-sea coral restoration has not been comprehensively reviewed and evaluated. This report was developed by the Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities (MDBC) Coral Propag...
Data Report: Summary and Assessment of CTD Data from MDBC Expeditions aboard NOAA Ship Pisces, R/V Point Sur, and R/V Pelican October 2021−October 2023
This environmental data summary report provides visualization and interpretation of all shipboard conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) data collected during eight expeditions aboard three vessels between October 2021 and 2023—five aboard R/V Point S...
Short-term growth of octocorals Swiftia exserta and Muricea pendula in a mesocosm
To optimize fragmentation approaches for restoration applications, this study assessed fragmentation size influences on health and growth rates of mesophotic octocorals. Growth rates for Swiftia exserta (n=6) and Muricea pendula (n=9) were determined usin...
