This report gives an overview of the distribution of coral reefs of Lophelia pertusa in Norway and damages by fishing activities. This information is compared with the localisation of trawling grounds. Testing of several methods for documentation of corals and damages are also presented. Information on the presence of corals have been obtained from fishermen, scientific literature, the Directorate of Fisheries, Statoil and our own investigations. Damaged coral reefs are reported by fishermen and from our own studies. The results show a concentration of corals along the continental break between 200 and 400 m depth. Large reefs are also found on the continental shelf, e.g. the reef on the Sula ridge which is about 15 km long and 350 m wide...
