Data Set Description: This is a subset of the Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program’s National Database. The data represent Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) video observations of corals in and adjacent to Cordell Bank and Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuaries during a June 2010 cruise of the NOAA Ship McArthur II. Changes to the original dataset may have been made to conform to the National Database Schema and for quality control purposes. The data are part of the West Coast Deep-Sea Coral Initiative of NOAA’s Deep Sea Coral Research & Technology Program.
