Title
CS1 LoVe Observatory: Norwegian deep-water coral reefs (MAREANO)
Abstract

Deep-water coral reefs have many similarities with coral reefs in shallow, warm waters. Amongst other things, they are made of stony corals and are home to incredibly rich biodiversity. In Norway, the reefs are formed by the coral species Lophelia pertusa.

MAREANO's map service now has up-to-date maps that show all of the known coral reefs in Norwegian waters, as well as marking coral reef conservation areas.
