Deep-sea coral research to help improve conservation efforts

Mainstreet Halifax

A 14-day research cruise is happening in the Atlantic Canyons and the Gulf of Maine right now. A team of Canadian and American scientists is examining deep-sea corals to better understand where they're found and their environmental conditions to help improve conservation efforts. Mainstreet's Alex Guye spoke with Anna Metaxas, a Dalhousie University oceanography professor, to learn more about the project.
