Data from: Evidence of lasting impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on a deep Gulf of Mexico coral community

This dataset contains digital still images (*.jpg, *.png, or *.tif files) of cold-water coral colonies at Mississippi Canyon (MC) 294 in the Gulf of Mexico. They are organized into folders by the five visits to the site in November and December 2010 (2010-11 and 2010-12), March and October 2011 (2011-03 and 2011-10), and March 2012 (2012-03). Within the folders for each visit, each coral is represented by sub-folders with its ID (e.g. A10) which contains the actual image file.
