Genomics Guides Coral Restoration in Gulf following Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
Description: A team of scientists and explorers, including researchers from the NCCOS Deep Coral Ecology Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina, completed its first season of fieldwork in the Gulf of Mexico, collecting samples of deep-sea coral species affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. The team conducted two research expeditions between July and October of 2017, using remotely operated vehicles to sample deep-water corals at multiple locations, ranging from depths of 150 to 7,218 feet.
