A look at some of the amazing coral life deep in the ocean. This is a #Repost from @ocean_allison asking and answering the question, WHAT IS A DEEP SEA CORAL? This summer I worked with @ecogig to produce a three-part educational video series highlighting the work done during our deep sea research expedition in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm excited to share the first video of this series which introduces viewers to the amazing corals of the deep sea --> to watch the full 2:40sec video click the link in @ecogig's profile or simply visit my Facebook page! These videos are being incorporated into ECOGIG's education and outreach program, including summer camps, classroom visits, science festivals, public events, and online. #sciencecommunication #oceancommunications #deepsea #deepseacoral #gulfofmexico #oceanscience #oceanexploration #OceanLife #deepsealifestyle #DeepSeaLife #LifeDeepDown
