Data Set Description: This is a subset of the Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program’s National Database. The data were provided by Dr. Brian Tissot from data used for the acquired from the Washington State University Master’s Thesis of Bianchi, C. 2011. Changes to the original dataset may have been made to conform to the National Database Schema and for quality control purposes. The data are records of deep-sea corals observed during 2001 ROV surveys in Astoria Canyon.
