Deep Sea Corals
Deep-sea corals are slow-growing marine organisms that live at water depths greater than light can penetrate. These corals are widely distributed on the outer continental shelves and slopes of U.S. margins and are considered especially vulnerable to damage by activities such as trawling given their slow regeneration time.
