sea bottom

In a paper published in 2000, they suggested that deep-sea mussels might have evolved from shallow-water individuals that reached the sea bottom by hitching a ride on falling pieces of waterlogged wood.

Dr. Langlet is trying to understand how they move in the sediment and how this affects the entire sea bottom ecosystem.

That great height is what kept A23a grounded to the sea bottom for over 30 years.

All this pruning allowed light to penetrate to the sea bottom, which in turn stimulated growth not only of kelp, but of other kinds of organisms as well, generating a more diverse, resilient understory.

The German deals differ from others because the companies are simply paying for the rights to develop sea bottom, and they will negotiate what they get paid for the electricity at a later day.
