Abstract:

What goes on half a mile under the sea off the coast of North Carolina? To find out, researchers from UNC Wilmington, the U.S. Geological Survey, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and other interested groups are investigating deep coral reef communities off the state's coast. Three expeditions spanned six weeks in the summers of 2002, 2003, and 2004. Jenkins discusses what has been learned to date.
