Exploration of outer shelf and slope habitats off the coast of North Carolina, August 5-15, 2002 [electronic resource] : Mission two, summary / by Steve W. Ross, Chief Scientist, North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve, John McDonough, Mission Coordinator, NOAA, National Ocean Service ; NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration.
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 ba...

Environmental and Geomorphological Effects on the Distribution of Deep-Sea Canyon and Seamount Communities in the Northwest Atlantic
Deep sea canyons and seamounts are topographically complex features that are considered to be biological hotspots. Anthropogenic pressures related to climate change and human activities are placing the species that inhabit these features at risk. Though s...
Vertical water mass structure in the North Atlantic influences the bathymetric distribution of species in the deep-sea coral genus Paramuricea
Deep-sea corals are the structural foundation of their ecosystems along continental margins worldwide, yet the factors driving their broad distribution are poorly understood. Environmental factors, especially depth-related variables including water mass p...
Discovery of new resources with pharmaceutical potential (pharmaceutical discovery) [electronic resource] / by Shirley Pomponi, Co-Chief Scientist, John Reed, Co-Chief Scientist, Pharmaceutical Discovery, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution.

Photographic catalog of deep-sea corals collected from the US West Atlantic margin by NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer in years 2017- 2019
This photo-identification collection is intended to provide a visual reference to commonly observed deep-sea corals in the Southeast United States, Gulf of Mexico, and U.S. Caribbean, as a consensus aid for taxonomic identification of these organisms. Thi...
Habitat utilization, demography, and behavioral observations of the squat lobster, Eumunida picta (Crustacea: Anomura: Eumunididae), on western North Atlantic deep-water coral habitats
Deep-sea coral habitats, comprising mostly Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus 1758), are well developed on the upper and middle continental slope off the southeastern United States (SEUS). These habitats support a diverse and abundant invertebrate fauna, yet ecol...
