Gulf Restoration Live! How do Deep-Sea Corals Grow?
Join a livestream from an expedition to advance mesophotic and deep coral restoration.
About
Throughout an upcoming expedition to restore deep-sea corals, NOAA and our partners will host public livestreams offering an opportunity to see restoration efforts up close. This expedition, taking place from March to May 2026, is part of a multi-year collaborative effort to restore deep-sea habitats in the Gulf of America that were injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
On Wednesday, April 22, see how scientists at sea are working to restore deep-sea coral communities through innovative coral propagation techniques. Learn how experts monitor and restore corals on the seafloor and why long-term restoration is critical to rebuilding deep-ocean habitats.
