Scientists Discover Healthy #DeepSea #Coral Reef and New #Seamounts in the Galápagos https://schmidtocean.org/healthy-deep-sea-coral-reef-and-new-seamounts-in-the-galapagos/
"#Scientists examining underwater cliff ecosystems onboard #ResearchVessel #Falkor (too) using #ROV #SuBastian, have discovered 2 pristine #CoralReefs in the waters surrounding the #Galápagos. These newly identified #ColdWaterReefs are situated at depths ranging from 370 to 420 meters. The discovery expands our understanding of #DeepReefs within the #GalápagosIslandsMarineReserve"
