Summary: | A primary goal of this study is to obtain a robust predictive capability for the occurrence of rich cnidarian (primarily scleractinian coral) hard ground communities in the deep Gulf of Mexico (GoM). To achieve this long-term goal, this study will accomplish three interrelated and interdependent objectives.
