DOSI Deep-Sea Round-Up

These photos are courtesy of Anna Metaxas and the ongoing CroCHEt cruise, a collaborative project of Dalhousie University, NOAA, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The expedition team shared the following information on the photos:

“For our Cross Border Coral Habitat Exploration, on 22 July 2024, we dove in Corsair Canyon in Canadian waters. We had yet another spectacular dive along the western canyon wall, the densest, most luxuriant forests of the bubblegum coral Paragorgia of all sizes, many of them huge, at around 860 m depth. None of us have ever seen such dense forests before. Corsair Canyon continues to amaze and earn its status as a Marine Refuge in Canada.”
