The objectives of WP2 are To assess the coralligenous megabenthic assemblages (habitats) by means of observation, photographic surveys
To investigate basic demographic characteristics of erect associated species populations and disturbances and threats
To quantify necrosis of gorgonians and other key benthic species
To establish a monitoring plan through repetitive photographic sampling, using for instance PhotoQuad software for image analysis.
