 Retriever Seamount is found in the lower rightmost corner of the Seamounts Unit’s “Pie Shape”. Among the many species, corals and sponges are the showstoppers! Unlike reefs, corals and sponges that live in the deep sea, grow upward creating almost an underwater “forest” with high biodiversity. Check out all the details in Dive 09: Retriever Seamount part of the Deep Connections 2019: Exploring Atlantic Canyons and Seamounts of U.S. and Canada conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
