A video-survey (Dive 52) using a Super Mohawk remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was conducted in July 2016 at Saglek Bank (Labrador, Canada). The benthic environment was video-recorded and photographed using a high-definition camera (1Cam Alpha, Sub C Imaging, 24.1 megapixels) mounted on the ROV, surveying depths ranging between 363-473 m. At this site, a video transect was prioritized over sampling, but 1 coral sample and 2 sponges were collected. At this location, three box-cores were deployed at two nearby sites, from which only a small sample was retained. Sea water was collected at several depth intervals from surface to near-bottom to determine calcium carbonate saturation.
