Mapping the
Future
of Cold-Water Corals
Collaborative research to protect cold-water coral ecosystems across the Atlantic Ocean through advanced habitat suitability modelling and conservation science.
Proven Deep-Sea Research Solutions
Cold-water corals are important deep-sea habitat-forming species facing increasing pressure from fishing, mining, and climate change. We're fast tracking how we map these vital animals to support their protection.
Within the UN Ocean Decade Challenger 150 Programme, we've bought together deep-sea biology experts from around the Atlantic, and particularly from South Atlantic nations. We’ve identified vast repositories of imagery data waiting to be unlocked through standardised analysis and expert scientific collaboration.
