Cold Water Corals

Cold Water Corals off the coast of Ireland in 1,000 metres depth offer room for many species, i.e. these galatheid crabs.

Stony corals build up the skeletton of the cold water corals - same as with their relatives in the tropical areas.

Researching cold water corals necessiates taking measures and samples in situ. The deep diving remotely operated vehicle QUEST obliges.

Hardly discovered, cold water corals are already threatened by destruction and overfishing.

Gladly we will provide you with more information, higher resolution and/or further pictures.

We can also offer spectacular video material from cold water corals in high resolution.
