Description
The purpose of this research cruise was to discover and characterize, for the first time, the extent
of mesophotic reefs along the entire coastline of Cuba, and to compare the health and
connectivity (physical, genetic and ecological) among both mesophotic and previously well-characterized
shallow reef systems in Cuba, the southeastern United States, and Gulf of Mexico
(in particular, the FGBNMS and FKNMS). Moreover, the project will directly address a
recommendation in the Report from MarCuba (2015) in which the U.S. and Cuban participants
in this project stated their intention to initiate an international collaboration.
