Decade-Long Experiment Sheds Light on Ocean's Deep Reefs
Original: A Decade-Long Experiment Is Unlocking the Mysteries of the Ocean’s ‘Deep Reefs’ https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wire
A research project running for roughly ten years is revealing how little-known 'deep reefs' work, the ecosystems found on rocky seafloors below where sunlight-fueled coral reefs end. Reporting describes how scientists have been studying these dim, hard-to-reach habitats over the long term, uncovering which species live there and how the communities function, work that could inform protection of little-studied ocean zones.
Why now: New long-term findings are drawing attention to poorly understood deep reef ecosystems at a time of growing interest in ocean conservation.
