Davidson Seamount, Pacific Ocean
The Davidson Seamount has recently been added to the boundaries of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. There will now be protection for ancient, spectacular corals as well as newly discovered rare species ( NOAA has identified 13 species new to science so far). The recent research that Save The Earth funded has identified a key regional role that the Davidson Seamount serves to the Central California ecosystem, and has provided for a strong site characterization that is the basis of a management plan NOAA is developing for Davidson Seamount. Save The Earth's sponsorship has helped generate sound science and national excitement to protect this area.
