Project Goals: Map & characterize the benthic habitat, macrobenthic biota, and fish populations within and adjacent to newly designated shelf-edge MPAs and CHAPCs off the SE US. Compare with prior and future surveys to better understand long-term health and status of these important deepwater coral/sponge ecosystems. Provide information to resource managers to inform decisions on protected habitats and managed key species.
