Decade-long deep reef experiment yields its findings

Original: A decade-long experiment unlocking the mysteries of the ocean's deep reefs: what scientists found when they retrieved st

Scientists have retrieved experimental structures placed roughly 100 metres underwater ten years ago, concluding a decade-long study of the ocean's mysterious deep reefs. The recovered materials are expected to reveal how life develops and survives on mesophotic reefs, ecosystems far below where divers normally work and poorly understood compared with shallow coral reefs.

Why now: The rare completion of a ten-year underwater experiment offers new insight into one of the ocean's least studied ecosystems.
