Anything other contribution:
Having led the geophysical mapping effort of deep sea geological features in the Gulf of Mexico for the US Federal government for over a decade using 3-D seismic (particularly, natural hydrocarbon seeps), I can contribute my expertise on the use of this mapping to protect deep sea corals and chemosynthetic communities, and to better understand their distribution.
