“…However, mining may have indirect impacts, including increased turbidity and sedimentation (see “High‐impact stressors” section). Chemical pollution (i.e., dumping) was also considered a moderate stressor because the dumping of chemicals in TMEs is possible (Brondi et al., 1981).…”

“…TMEs might be less susceptible to this type of pollution than shallower habitats as pollutant input at the surface based is likely to be diluted with depth and we have therefore assigned a lower likelihood score of 2 (unlikely). However, direct dumping of toxic chemicals in these areas is possible (e.g., Brondi et al, 1981). Furthermore, the longevity, extent, and toxicity of chemical pollution might significantly differ according to the location, volume, and specific chemical composition of the pollutant.…”

The ecology and function of rocky temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) remain poorly understood globally despite their widespread distribution. They typically occur at 20–150 m (the limit of photosynthesis), and on rocky substratum they support rich benthic communities and mobile fauna. We determined the distribution of rocky TMEs, their conservation status, and their most characteristic biological groups. Rocky TMEs were dominated by algae, turf‐invertebrate matrices (<50 m only), sponges, bryozoans, and cnidarians. The community composition of TMEs differed significantly from shallow (0–15 m) subtidal reefs. Data were geographically biased and variable, available only from the North and South Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Temperate Australasia. Degree of protection of rocky TMEs varied considerably across the world. The biggest threats to rocky TMEs were identified changes in temperature, sedimentation rates, nutrient concentrations, and certain fishing types. We propose a conservation framework to inform future rocky TME management and conservation, highlighting the need to recognize the importance of these biologically diverse and functionally important ecosystems.
