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.

Mesophotic coral ecosystems in the Hawaiian Archipelago
Coral Reefs, 2010Efforts to map coral reef ecosystems in the Hawaiian Archipelago using optical imagery have revealed the presence of numerous scleractinian, zoothanthellate coral reefs at depths of 30–130+ m, most of which were previously undiscovered. Such coral reefs and their associated communities have been recently defined as mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs ...

Studies on Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in Japan
2018In the last years, mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) received increased attention from the research community. MCEs exist at depths between 30–40 m and until 100 m or deeper. While MCEs were already reported from Japan nearly 50 years ago, mesophotic research in Japan did not progress as in other countries like the USA or Australia.

Recent advances in the ecology of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs)
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2014While substantial mesophotic coral ecosystem (MCE) habitat (>30–40 m) remains uninvestigated, recent investigations show that the extent of both MCE habitat and species diversity is greater than previously thought. The depth distributions and biogeographic ranges for many shallow-water organisms have also been historically underestimated.

Presence of coral-killing sponges in Okinawan mesophotic coral ecosystems
Bulletin of Marine ScienceShallow reefs worldwide are degrading due to multiple threats. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; 30– 150 m depth) have been investigated for their diversity and potential to serve as a coral refuge and re-seed shallow reefs. However, recent studies showed that MCEs are also disturbed by various factors, including diseases, pollution, storms, and ...

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs, 30-150 m) have received increasing attention from the scientific community over the past two decades, as their significance has been recognised in terms of biodiversity, distribution, and ecological value. However, MCEs remain relatively unexplored compared to their shallow-water counterparts.

Mesophotic coral ecosystems are threatened and ecologically distinct from shallow water reefs
Science, 2018Deep coral reefs are different Coral reefs are under intense pressure from anthropogenically induced climate warming and habitat destruction. It has been suggested that coral reefs in deeper waters may provide a refuge less affected by human development and climate change. Rocha et al. , however, show that
