Jack Parker's research investigates deep water habitats as climate refuges. With ocean temperatures rising, species may migrate to cooler mesophotic reefs, which offer stable temperatures compared to shallower waters. #GreatSouthernReef #MesophoticZone

The Mesophotic Zone, a twilight zone in the ocean, supports unique ecosystems and organisms adapted to low light conditions. Let's explore the mysteries of this lesser-known oceanic realm. 🌅🌊 #MesophoticZone #TwilightZone #OceanEcosystems #UnderwaterWorld

You are about to enter another realm. A journey into a wondrous land of deep corals & #MarineSponges. Next stop, the #MesophoticZone (aka #TwilightZone)! Our new sponge guide can light the way! 🎫 64 sponge species 🔥 15 potentially new species! zookeys.pensoft.net/article/93754/

Well #HelloThere! You don't find Longfin Bass in the shallow parts of the sanctuary, but there's no mistaking their beauty when you spot them in the dark reaches of our reefs. #ReefFish #MesophoticZone
