The discovery of what appears to be “cold seeps” containing giant mussels, tube worms, and other organisms thriving in the environment, was made on November 14th 2013.
This is a very relevant discovery for the International Marine Research Community and for these ultra-peripheral regions. It’s also very relevant for Netbiome-CSA due to the identification of a new biodiversity hotspot in the Caribbean and the need to collect greater knowledge for a better, integrated and sustainable management of this new ecosystem.
