Spotlight 6: Davidson seamount
Davidson Seamount is located about 80 km off the central California coast in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. It is one of the better-explored seamounts in the world, having been sampled and observed during 32 dives by the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Tiburon . These dives mapped the bottom substrate and biological communities, and collected over 280 rock samples and nearly as many benthic animals.
