Scientists have retrieved structures placed 100 metres underwater ten years ago, closing out a decade-long experiment aimed at understanding the ocean's mysterious deep reefs. The recovered materials offer researchers a rare long-term look at how life develops in these dim, poorly studied zones. The findings are drawing attention for shedding light on one of the least explored habitats on Earth.
Why now: The rare completion of a ten-year underwater experiment offers new insight into little-known deep reef ecosystems.
