SEMI-AUTOMATIC METHOD OF FAN SURFACE ASSESSMENT TO ACHIEVE GORGONIAN POPULATION STRUCTURE IN LE DANOIS BANK, CANTABRIAN SEA

This study presents a semi-automatic method to estimate fan surface of a <i>Placogorgia</i> sp. octocoral assemblage using 3D point clouds in El Cachucho MPA at 550&thinsp;m of depth. The presence of gorgonian forests and deep-sea sponge aggregations in Le Danois Bank was the cause o...
