Coral diseases are widely reported in the tropics but the first incidence of cold-water
coral disease was not noted until 2002 when divers recorded an outbreak at 10-28 m depth off
Lundy in a NE Atlantic marine protected area. The seafan Eunicella verrucosa exhibited coenchyme necrosis and subsequent diving surveys of >600 colonies at 13 sites since revealed that
disease outbreaks were widespread in SW England to depths of 50 m from 2003-2008, possibly
caused by infection by Vibrio bacteria at high temperatures
