The deep-waters of the United Kingdom are not featureless expanses of mud. They support an amazing diversity of life, from dense sponge belts, cold-water coral reefs to fields of weird single-celled organisms called xenophyophores. The Deep-sea Conservation for the UK (DC-UK) project has been developed to tackle three central elements; biodiversity, management policy and public awareness of the UK's deep-sea environment.
