@pezmico Thanks! To summarise:

Videos analysed show 350 different corals and sponges, some >100 years old, on the sea plateau Lord Howe Rise. Deep-sea corals create habitats for thousands of other species. Vulnerable marine ecosystems should be comprehensively protected.

This thought-provoking art raises weighty issues, but with joy in the making, the details, & the conversations that ensue. It's disturbing, but so beautiful!

What other aspects do you see?

These are dwarfed by the huge scale of new threats. Life amid the 3-dimensionality of a thriving habitat contrasts with the flattened desert & devastated seabed after the passage of a bottom trawl.
