This map shows the deep water coral reefs we so far know of along the coast of Norway. Bottom trawl is forbidden nearby five of the reefs.
These are Tisler and Fjellknausene in Østfold, Sularevet off Nord-Trøndelag and Iverryggen and Røstrevet off Nordland. Accurate coordinates to these areas are given in forskrift fra Fiskeridirektoratet 27. August 2008. (external link).
