    • RESTORE Sponsored Research Project: Population Connectivity of Deepwater Corals in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

    Metadata Updated: October 18, 2024

    This project will determine where the corals in different mesophotic (50-150 m) and deepwater (150-2400 m) populations in the Gulf of Mexico originated from, which is critical information for conserving and restoring these important habitats that were damaged by the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Oil Spill.

    Lineage This project will focus on four species of mesophotic and deepwater corals that were directly impacted by the DWH Oil Spill. The project aims to help guide management decisions by addressing crucial gaps in the understanding of the processes that influence population connectivity patterns of habitat-forming deepwater and mesophotic corals. The team will achieve this by combining field sampling, population genomic analyses, and physical oceanographic modeling to 1) define spatial scales of coral populations, 2) infer directionality and relative rate of genetic exchange among the coral populations, and 3) integrate predictive models of larval dispersal with genetic data to estimate dispersal distances and connectivity patterns.
