"The Secret Garden of the Deep Deep Sea Coral Reefs represent areas of astounding biodiversity. Lush cold water coral and sponge gardens thrive in the icy waters. An expanse of colourful coral structures blooming out of the sea floor providing important habitats for deep-dwelling life. And yet they are one of the most poorly understood of all deep sea ecosystems. Much like in shallow reefs deep-sea corals are made up of colonies of coral polyps working together to survive. They form when a polyp attaches itself to a rock and divides into thousands of clones through the process of budding. The"

"The Stages of Whale Decomposition Whale-falls of the Deep Sea. Fallen whale carcasses abundant in the deep-sea form ecosystems of their own. When a whale dies and sinks the carcass provides a sudden concentrated food source and creates an 'island' of organic matter on an otherwise food-poor seabed. Its body can last for decades supporting an ever-changing ecosystem that blooms out of the barren darkness like flowers in spring. As it decomposes different stages support a succession of marine biological communities. It is these complex and fascinating stages that we will explore in this video."

Creatures that adapt to life in the midwater zone are known as pelagic while creatures that evolve to be well-suited to an existence on or near the sea floor are known as benthic or demersal. These two groups could not be more different but which is a more effective way of life First lets take a look at the demersal creatures of the deep - the bottom-feeders clinging to rocky seamounts and burrowing into the mud.

When a whale dies and sinks the carcass provides a sudden concentrated food source and creates an 'island' of organic matter on an otherwise food-poor seabed. Its body can last for decades supporting an ever-changing ecosystem that blooms out of the barren darkness like flowers in spring. As it decomposes different stages support a succession of marine biological communities. It is these complex and fascinating stages that we will explore in this video."
