Never in a million years did I expect to find such a beautiful and diverse soft coral reef in our backyard right here in #Newfoundland- read about how it happened here:

Happy Deep-sea Day. This is my new favourite coral. We found it during our last expedition in Costa Rican waters. Thanks to National Geographic @SchmidtOcean and @4DOceansLab for the support. It took a massive effort and preparation, but it was worth it. https://t.co/IM1JtriJvA

Tomorrow I will present my research on "corals and sponges habitat selection and niche differentiation" 🪸🪸to the @DSBSoc. I used 3D models to dig deeper in complex ecological relations. Study Location Middle Atlantic Ridge. PM for a link☺️ @DeepStewardship @4DOceansLab @DFO_NL

Ana Belen Yanes Suarez (@BelenOcean) from Memorial University of Newfoundland will give a talk titled "Corals and sponges habitat selection within vertical walls".

Excited to share news of our latest expedition to the Galapagos and La Isla del Coco with the deep-sea community! The Eastern Tropical Pacific is a treasure full of wonders we need to protect. 🪸🐙🌊@DeepStewardship @SchmidtOcean @InsideNatGeo @4DOceansLab @marineinstitute #ETP

Finally I could see and touch this unbelievable worm Riftia 🤯🤯. Hydrothermal vents are fascinating. #MappingGalapagosVents. Good work of @squamiferum in getting the entire worm out of its tube . @SchmidtOcean #deepsea #Riftia

Dr. Katleen Robert led an international teams of scientists in a @SchmidtOcean expedition that discovered two pristine, cold-water coral reefs and two uncharted seamounts in the waters surrounding the Galápagos Islands. Details: https://t.co/QpaKdRpCGG

The #CliffReefs expedition might be over, but the work to analyses over 30tb of data on vertical cold-water corals is only just starting

In the seamount we just maped close to La Isla del Coco this is what we saw within OMZ 🤯🪸. All the fear I felt to send the ROV SuBastian in this unexplored waters was so worth it. After this leg there are many more questions to answer. @InsideNatGeo @SchmidtOcean, @4DOceansLab

To lead the expedition in La Isla del Coco focusing on understanding the distribution of corals 🪸across OMZ was challenging but rewarding🤩. We found unique ecosystems, coral with eggs, octopuses, sharks, mantarays and mapped an unexplored seamount🧵 @InsideNatGeo @SchmidtOcean

[Ana Belen Yanez Suarez @BelenOcean]

Look what we found in la Isla del Coco while exploring the deep sea. We saw four of them in one dive! @SchmidtOcean @InsideNageo @DSBSoc #octopus #deepsea
