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 ten-year research project is revealing what lives on the ocean's 'deep reefs', the little-studied zones between shallow coral reefs and the deep sea. Reporting describes how scientists have used long-term observation to document species and ecosystems far below the surface, filling a major gap in ocean knowledge.

Why now: The findings offer rare insight into poorly understood deep reef ecosystems at a time of growing concern over ocean health.
