So I know what you are asking? Craig, when I am out collecting deep-sea corals what protocols should I use? Your in luck! A considerable amount of Peter's time has been to compile Deep Sea Coral Collection protocols which is "designed to build international capacity to document deep-sea coral diversity." The document represents Peter's hard work and will no doubt lead to increase in our knowledge of deep-sea corals through a standardization of procedures. You can download the document for free!
Peter was also the topic d'jour at CenSeam (Census of Marine Life: Seamounts). He was interviewed for the newsletter which you can also download for free!
