| Description | With the use of advanced techniques, this project has enabled a 3D view of cold-water coral reefs. This has enabled quantification of 3D metrics of this vulnerable habitat. The results show fine-scale variation of coral cover and structural complexity influences biodiversity patterns. |
| Exploitation Route | The identification of a habitat threshold may be useful for management purposes. |
