Are many more coral reefs waiting to be found. our science correspondent, victoria gill, has this report. "magical." that was one of the words a veteran specialist diver who led this mission used to describe this view. some of these rose shaped corals are more than two metres wide, and the whole reef structure stretches three kilometres along the sea bed. its depth and its distance from the coast is thought to be a key reason for its pristine condition. the researchers say it shows no signs of d...

Its depth and its distance from the coast is thought to be a key reason for its pristine condition. the researchers say it shows no signs of damage from pollution or from warming ocean temperatures, something that poses a major threat to shallower reefs. it looks beautiful, but scientifically how important is this, as a discovery? it might be, to date, one of the largest coral reefs in the world that actually lies at that sort of depth of more than 30 metres. so, from that perspective, that is o...

Condition. why scientists think more must be done to explore the worlds oceans. >> reporter: here off the coast of tahiti, a stunning discovery. up to 230 feet below the surface was this, a huge, untouched, rose-shape coral reef nearly two miles long. researchers on a united nations-led discovery mission discovered it liveing near the twilight zone depth of the ocean. 100 to 200 feet below the ocean where there is just enough light to sustain life. they found one of the largest coral reefs, appe...

Discovered and cnn reports, scientists say this discovery illustrates why so much more needs to be done to explore the worlds oceans. here, off the coast of tahiti, a stunneding discovery, 230 feet off the surface was this, a coral reef more than two miles wrong. researchers on a scientific mission discovered it diving under the depth of the ocean known as the way to light zone, 100 to more than 200 feet below the surface where theres just enough light to sustain life, thats where they found o...

Led scientific mission discovered it diving near the cents of the ocean known as the twilight zone. 100 to 200 feet below the surface where theres just enough light to sustain life. the coral reef appearing unaffected by climate change, stunning since warming waters have wiped out nearly half of the earths known reefs and over the next couple of decades there will be a 90% decline according to the latest projections. >> it shows us still how little we know about our own planet and how important ...

The ecosystem. this means we are not doing something useless. if everything was dead we would be doing something useless. our waters are very important because just because this is not destroyed yet, just because the ocean are still alive so we just have to protect and let them live as it was before. >> let me jump in here because i want to ask you because it is only i think about 20% of the ocean floor currently mapped. do you think there are more huge and healthy reefs out there that we have n...
