The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities: Mesophotic Fish and Coral Presence, Absence, and Density Data in the Northeast Gulf of Mexico from 2018-06-28 to 2020-08-04 (NCEI Accession 0276878) |
| Abstract: | Presence, absence and density information for fish and corals in the northeast Gulf of Mexico and the West Florida shelf. Data was collected from three different projects over a two-year period from 2018-2020. The Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group’s Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities Restoration: Coral Propagation Technique Development (CPT) Project funded re-analysis of previously collected, separately funded ROV video surveys for acquisition of relevant coral and sponge presence, absence, and density data, and performed a quality assurance/quality check prior to submitting the data to NCEI. Data is formatted into two Excel spreadsheets, one with observations and one with absence data. This data package also includes representative images for each site taken from ROV video. |

| Supplementary information: | Submission Package ID: 9X4PWH Data was extracted from multiple studies over a two year period to provide coral abundance and density estimates from ROV sampled locations 40m and greater. Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GOMRI) sampling sites (n=13) were from a long term study estimating fish density at reefs impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, "Lionfish Trap" sites (n=108) were from a study focused on trapping lionfish over deepwater mesophotic reefs, "GOM RS Project" (n=58) were from the Gulf of Mexico Red Snapper Count project that had sampling from 2018-2019. Data are derived from ROV transect sampling at sites > 40m. |
