0:31Now PlayingThe Azores are surrounded by hundreds of seamounts, all part of the longest mountain chain on Earth: the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This complex underwater landscape creates conditions that aggregate all kinds of life, and coldwater corals are an essential part of these ecosystems.
Some of these corals live for thousands of years, and grow very slowly--less than one millimeter per year. That means it would take them a long time to recover from any damage, making them especially vulnerable to human impacts.
Scientists Marina Carreiro-Silva and Telmo Morato joined OceanXplorer to get an up-close look at the deep-sea habitats they’ve dedicated their careers to. They used the ship’s ROV and submersibles to collect valuable samples that will help them better understand what the corals need to survive in our changing world.
Check out the full video on our channel to learn more about these deep-sea "forests."
