The tuft coral Lophelia pertusa is a deep-water coral that is very slow to develop and fragile, which makes recovery from any type of damage a very slow process. Current fishing practices and oil drilling are destructive processes that effect these coral systems. The goal of this paper is to learn more about the Lophelia pertusa and determine how best to protect these deep-water systems.

The objective of this study was to collect ocean data to increase the deepwater database and knowledge of the deep circulation in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico as well as provide information to use in oil spill analysis.
