Deep
reef communities (30-150
m) called mesophotic
coral ecosystems
(MCEs) have recently
captured the attention of the scientific community, particularly as a
result of both the continual global degradation
of shallow water reefs
and the development of the mesophotic
refugia hypothesis. While recent
technological advances in SCUBA have permitted increased research into
MCE biology and ecology, there is still a critical gap in knowledge of
the geology of mesophotic reefs.
