Abstract Floating Offshore Wind Farms (FOWFs) are the most promising renewable energy
resource. Floating turbines are installed at progressively increasing water depths, interacting …

Cold-water coral (CWC) habitats dwell on continental shelves, slopes, seamounts, and ridge
systems around the world's oceans from 50 to 4000 m depth, providing heterogeneous …

Deep-sea ecosystems are facing degradation which could have severe consequences for
biodiversity and the livelihoods of coastal populations. Ecosystem restoration as a natural …

Gorgonians dwelling on the Mediterranean continental shelf are among the most frequent
fishing bycatch taxa. These species display several traits, such as long lifespans and slow …

Cold‐water corals (CWCs) are important species that provide habitat for other taxa but are
sensitive to mechanical damage from bottom trawling. CWC conservation has been …

The loss of marine biodiversity is now widely described. Given the complexity of the marine
environment, it is difficult to curb because the damage is sometimes irreversible, such as the …

The latest emerging transdisciplinary marine protected area (MPA) research scheme
requires efficient approaches for theoretically based and data-driven method integration …

A 2013 study revealed that three morphologically distinct antipatharian genera
(Dendrobathypathes, Lillipathes, Parantipathes) from the eastern North Pacific (ENP) are …

Cold-water coral (CWC) systems are hotspots of biodiversity that need protection from the
increasing human impacts and global climate change. The restoration of degraded cold …

An evaluation of coral recruitment was conducted at Palk Bay using artificial panels
measuring 15× 15 cm submerged at a 60 angle and supported by mild steel tripods. After …
