Overview of experimental setting and setup. (A) Deployment locations of moorings containing the in situ microcosms (black dots). The town Kitimat is indicated by a white dot as a point of reference. The track shown in pink represents the main shipping route through Douglas Channel. (B) Bathymetric profile of the track indicated in pink in panel A. Deployment depths of the in situ microcosms are indicated with black dots. (C) Clay beads and corresponding PVC column for bead containment. The ruler shown for scale has a length of 30 cm. (D) Beads coated in AWB and contained in a Nylon mesh sack prior to loading the microcosm columns. (E) Bead-filled columns installed in the mooring setup. (F) Bead-filled columns after retrieval and after ca. 12 months of incubation. The shown microcosm columns were colonized by soft corals presumably belonging the genus Callogorgia.
