The biology, ecology and vulnerability of deep-water coral reefs

Rogers, Alex. 2004 The biology, ecology and vulnerability of deep-water coral reefs. International Union for Conservation of Nature & Natural Resources, 10pp.

Abstract
Deep-sea coral reefs live in the cold, dark waters of the oceans but like shallow water tropical coral reefs they have a distinct, diverse and sometimes highly endemic associated animal community. These reefs are under direct threat from deep-sea trawling and in some areas have already been seriously impacted by fishing. At present there is no protection for these habitats on the high seas.
