Abstract
Corals in the Mesophotic Zone (40–115 m) at the Barrier Reef Complex From San Andrés Island (Southwestern Caribbean)
Highlights
Shallow reefs in the SeaFlower Biosphere Reserve, even at the remotest bank atolls, are showing a steady decline in coral cover overall health condition during the last 20 years (Sánchez et al, 2019b)
We explored the reef using Close-Circuit Rebreather (CCR) (Megalodon, Inner Space Systems) and hypoxic trimix techniques (e.g., 11% Oxygen and 60% Helium) with complete bail-out support for each diver
The dataset included 113 specimens from 33 species collected below 40 m (8 black corals, 1 lace coral, 8 scleractinian corals, and 16 gorgonian corals: Table 1)

Shallow reefs in the SeaFlower Biosphere Reserve, even at the remotest bank atolls, are showing a steady decline in coral cover overall health condition during the last 20 years (Sánchez et al, 2019b). Depth (meter), Site at San Andrés Island (SeaFlower Biosphere Reserve) and Date collected (day/month/year). The dataset included 113 specimens from 33 species collected below 40 m (8 black corals, 1 lace coral, 8 scleractinian corals, and 16 gorgonian corals: Table 1).
