2018 ROV video survey in SW Greenland aboard CCGS Amundsen (dives 68-69)

Two remotely operated vehicle (ROV) video surveys were conducted at the SW Greenland location, at depths of ~700-950 m in August 2018. The primary purpose of the ROV dives at this location was to video survey the area study the distribution, geology, and species associations to the reef-forming cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa. Another objective of these dives was to survey the area to identify a suitable location for piston coring. Lophelia pertusa coral colonies were observed on steep bedrock surfaces between 950 and 750 m water depth. Other corals observed at this site include Primnoa resedaeformis, Paragorgia arborea, soft corals, and sponges Asconema spp, Geodia spp., among others. No sampling took place at this location due to ROV issues.
