Service Description: The abundance and distribution of MDBC across the Gulf of Mexico are not completely known, particularly in deeper waters, presenting a challenge to decision-making for restoration, management, and protection. This project would conduct high- resolution mapping efforts
in both mesophotic and deep benthic habitats and use this information to refine predictive models to improve the effectiveness and cost efficiency of future restoration and mapping efforts. This project would also analyze the abundance and distribution of these communities,
as well as provide data on depth ranges, densities, and distributions of specific coral species. The data collected in this project would provide fundamental information to support MDBC protection and management activities.

Subject: This group of layers is part of a collection and inventory of seafloor mapping, ground-truthing, and predictive habitat modeling data within the Gulf of Mexico. The inventory was compiled to support the mesophotic and deep benthic community (MDBC) portfolio that aims to restore MDBC in the Gulf of Mexico as part of a Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) following the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
