The Nodule Crown Coral has been announced as one of the Top 10 Species of 2025 by @marinespecies.bsky.social! 👑🪸
It's the first known hard-coral species to live attached to polymetallic nodules – mineral-rich rocks that are the focus of growing international interest for deep-seabed mining.
Some incredible new discoveries from the Blue Belt Programme's recent voyage to the deep waters surrounding The Cayman Islands, Anguilla and Turks and Caicos.
The team spent 6 weeks aboard RRS James Cook to study the previously uncharted waters, bringing together diverse skills and local insights.
The BBNJ Treaty affects 95% of the world’s biosphere by volume!
