Deep-water coral reefs are found along large sections of the outer
continental shelves and slopes of Europe, from North Cape to the
Gulf of Cadiz, and because they also occur along the Atlantic
seaboard of USA, the Gulf of Mexico, off Brazil, in the
Mediterranean, and off New Zealand, they are currently being
targeted by international groups of marine scientists. They have
become popular and opportune deep-water research targets because
they offer exciting frontier exploration, combined with a whole
plethora of modern scientific methods, such as deep-sea drilling,
sampling, remote control surveying and documentation. Furthermore
they represent timely opportunities for further developments within
the application of geochemistry, stable isotope research, bacterial
sciences, including DNA-sequestering, and medical research (search
for bioactive compounds). The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program
(IODP) has arranged a deep-sea scientific drilling campaign on
giant carbonate banks off Ireland. Because the reefs currently defy
traditional marine-ecological theories, they represent future
research opportunities and will enjoy scientific scrutiny for many
years to come.
