2017 ROV video survey in a deep-water environment at Disko Fan (SE Baffin Bay) aboard CCGS Amundsen

The Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dive at this site had three main objectives: (1) to recover a recruitment experiment deployed in 2016, and to deploy another similar experiment; (2) to collect dead coral fragments from the path of a 1999 trawl survey to assess natural coral recruitment and coral forest recovery from trawl disturbance, and (3) to carry out a video survey to increasing depth to assess the lower depth limit of the bamboo coral forest.
