Gorgonians ๐ชธ of the mesophotic depths of Pohnpei, FSM ๐ซ๐ฒ This year at 78-100m/256-328 ft depth, increases in mean temperature & an invasive sponge have taken hold on Annella Gray, 1858. This illustrates the importance of comprehensive time-series datasets over depth & scale. #gorgonian #mesophotic

1st shot is unedited & an example of the weird ๐ตโ๐ซ response of the camera ๐ท when taking it beyond the depth rating of the housing ๐
The rest are random research & deco snaps whilst processing expedition image data ๐ ๐ค

The most delightful reaction to finding the purple #gorgonian site from our wonderful student Artemis. Truly beautiful site. Will be processing and posting the video footage within a week! Watch this space! ๐งช๐ชธ๐ ๐ #fieldwork #marinescience
Our #ROV surveys in Lesvos continue, revealing breathtaking #gorgonian forestsโbut not without a stark reminder of human impact. #Ghostnets and abandoned longlines haunt these vibrant ecosystems.
