Key Questions for Research and Conservation of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems and Temperate Mesophotic Ecosystems [PDF]
Coral Reefs of the World, 2019 Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) and temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) have received increasing research attention during the last decade as many new and improved methods and technologies have become more accessible to explore deeper parts of the ocean.

Diversity, 2022 Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs: ~30 to 100+ m depth) may be older and more stable than shallow coral ecosystems that are more prone to disturbances in both the long term (glacial sea level cycles) and short term (heavy weather and anthropogenic activities).

Deep thinking: a systematic review of mesophotic coral ecosystems [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2017 Abstract Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) occur at depths beyond those typically associated with coral reefs. Significant logistical challenges associated with data collection in deep water have resulted in a limited understanding of the ecological relevance of these deeper coral ecosystems.

Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems: Introduction and Overview
Coral Reefs of the World, 2019Although the existence of zooxanthellate corals in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; light-dependent coral ecosystems from 30 to 150 m in depth) has been known since the nineteenth century and focused scientific exploration of MCEs began over 50 years ago, more than 70% of all research on MCEs has been published only within the past seven years.

Caribbean mesophotic coral ecosystems are unlikely climate change refugia
Global Change Biology, 2016AbstractDeeper coral reefs experience reduced temperatures and light and are often shielded from localized anthropogenic stressors such as pollution and fishing. The deep reef refugia hypothesis posits that lightâdependent stony coral species at deeper depths are buffered from thermal stress and will avoid bleachingârelated mass mortalities caused by ...

Mesophotic coral ecosystems have been studied for almost as long as researchers have studied shallow coral reefs. This may be surprising, given that the term mesophotic was coined as recently as 2008. At their shallowest, most agree, mesophotic reefs are found between depths of 30 and 40 m.

Coral Reefs of the World, 2019
[Extract] Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are unique tropical and subtropical ecosystems characterized as light-dependent reef communities typically found at depths ranging from 30 to 40 m and extending to over 150 m in clear waters. The dominant habitat-forming communities can be hard and soft corals, algae, and/or sponges.

Ecosystem Services of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems and a Call for Better Accounting
Coral Reefs of the World, 2019Accounting of the goods and services provided by ecosystems to human communities provides a basis for informed sustainable development, policy, and conservation decision-making. Coral reefs provide a myriad of such goods and services to coastal communities through direct provisioning (e.g., calories and natural products), environmental supporting and ...

Underwater Robotic Technology for Imaging Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems
Coral Reefs of the World, 2019The development of advanced acoustic and optical imaging techniques along with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) has enabled high-resolution benthic mapping and biological characterization of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) over large spatial scales.
