NCCOS Assessment: Predicted habitat suitability for Leiopathes glaberrima in the US Gulf of Mexico, 2016-01-17 to 2017-09-30 (NCEI Accession 0276866)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: September 26, 2026 at 09:38 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 13, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This data collection contains outputs from spatial predictive models of habitat suitability for the black coral Leiopathes glaberrima in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The models were derived from records of Leiopathes glaberrima occurrence and environmental and oceanographic variables describing conditions that may influence the distribution of deep-sea corals, including measures of depth, steepness, and complexity of the seafloor, composition of sediments on the seafloor, and ocean productivity.
