Appendix Template for Submission of Scientific Information to Describe Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas Title/Name of the area: Crozet Islands abyssal plain EBSA
Abstract (in less than 150 words) Deep waters (c. 4200m) around the Crozet Islands have localised and isolated seabed communities on sediments lying beneath highly productive waters to the north and east of the Islands. The restricted areas of primary productivity are stimulated by natural iron fert...

The most common seabed species at Crozet, the holothurian Peniagone crozeti, is superabundant and occurs almost exclusively at the high productivity site. This is highly unusual.
