Shallow seamounts are “oases” and activity hubs for pelagic predators in a large-scale marine reserve
Shallow seamounts are “oases” and activity hubs for pelagic predators in a large-scale marine reserve
Seamounts have been likened to ‘oases’ of life in the comparative deserts of the open ocean. This integrated study of tropical seamounts suggests that high faunal biomass is sustained by exogenous…

NEW RESEARCH: Seamounts are a HUB for sharks!
New research on seamounts off Ascension Island has found that there are 41 TIMES the amount of sharks there than in the open ocean, despite no increase in primary productivity.

Twenty-five years after bottom trawling ceased, seamounts in Chile’s Juan Fernández Archipelago show little recovery and are now overrun by sea urchins.
Meanwhile, nearby untouched seamounts still support deep-sea coral ecosystems.

Australia released coordinates of a NZ bottom trawler’s coral destruction to Greenpeace after the NZ Govt refused.
Now we’re heading out with remote deep sea cameras to document the damage — and the life at risk there on the Lorde Howe Rise seamounts.
