The idea was that it might modulate flows which are favorable to benthic fauna. This hypothesis at the time was attributed to oceanographer Emil Petruncio at the Naval Academy and expedition lead on Nautilus [20:07:06] LAT : 23.446003 , LON : -172.54123 , DEPTH : 1898.3111 m, TEMP : 2.07066 C, SAL : 34.60778 PSU, DO : 2.97875 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [20:07:12] little orange star? [20:07:22] tha's so cool thank you steve!

[20:08:36] Hippateria [20:08:40] Hippasteria [20:08:58] @Emily possible! definitely worth looking in to furhter [20:12:00] These chrysogorgia also look above-average in size for this depth.

[20:14:19] Makes me think that the currents/ water conditions= Favourable benthic conditions + potential higher POC flux= higher diversity+ larger body size+ potentially higher recruitment rates? [20:14:39] We just finished annotating the dives from NA154, it was crazy dense with coral! Very high diversity! [20:15:04] weird sponge [20:15:09] is this sponge???? [20:15:18] Weird sponge??
