Developing an interim technical definition for Coral Gardens specific for UK waters and its subsequent application to verify suspected records 2014

The results from this study will be used to assist in the identification of Marine Protected Areas in UK waters for Coral Gardens, as well as in the development of further work areas concerning the conservation of habitats in UK waters.
