A research program has been initiated by the Minerals
Management Service (Contract No. 1435-01-99-CT-30991) to
gain better knowledge of the benthic communities of the
deep Gulf of Mexico entitled "The Deepwater Program:
Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Slope Habitat and
Benthic Ecology." Increasing exploration and exploitation of fossil hydrocarbon resources in the deep-sea prompted the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior to support an investigation of the structure and function of the
assemblages of organisms that live in association with the
sea floor in the deep-sea. The program, Deep Gulf of Mexico
Benthos or DGoMB, is studying the northern Gulf of Mexico
(GOM) continental slope from water depths of 300 meters on
the upper continental slope out to greater than 3,000
meters water depth seaward of the base of the Sigsbee and
Florida Escarpments. The study is focused on areas that are
the most likely targets of future resource exploration and
exploitation.
