Data Set Description: This is a subset of the Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program’s National Database. The data were acquired from a database of cold-water coral records in the literature developed and provided by Jason Hall-Spencer and colleagues, and described in Hall-Spencer et al., 2007. Changes to the original dataset may have been made to conform to the National Database Schema and for quality control purposes.
