Mesophotic Reefs of Montserrat

Principal Investigator

This project will conduct mesophotic coral ecosystem surveys around Montserrat using Remotely Operated. Vehicles (ROVs) and data loggers to assess reef and water column biodiversity, species abundance, marine conditions and impacts. The analysed data gathered will: -greatly augment information on deep reefs habitats, information which is currently extremely limited; -create a broader understanding of Montserrat’s marine environment as a whole system; -provide information to reduce ghost fishing impacts and the economic costs and habitat damage from that lost fishing gear. https://darwinplus.org.uk/project/DPL00092
