Clip from the Tokmakia plateau (NE Lesvos): a mesophotic coralligenous reef with dense red gorgonians and complex bioconstructions. This is the kind of “animal forest” habitat our work focuses on documenting and conserving.

The studied assemblages were mostly dominated by #gorgonians and #blackcorals. They were structurally complex, functionally diverse and well-preserved, harboring some of the #densest black coral populations reported to date.
🚨 New paper out! We’ve modelled the distribution of key #Mediterranean #gorgonians 🪸 to guide #conservation efforts
