After its discovery on Cordell Bank, the same species was found in other waters, including both Channel Islands and Monterey Bay national marine sanctuaries. Much of the ocean is unexplored and undiscovered, especially at depth. Deep-sea exploration and surveys provide crucial baseline data to support the protection of fragile underwater rocky habitats. The increased precision of ROV technology, collection for scientific study is non-destructive to the surrounding habitat and has a minimal impact on the species population overall.
