  hosts tens of thousands of seamounts that often form unique habitats and 
 hotspots of marine life within otherwise low‑productivity\, low‑divers
 ity open‑ocean regions. By interacting with surrounding currents\, seamo
 unts modify ocean conditions from local to basin scales. They support spec
 ialized benthic communities and a diverse associated fauna\, from fish to 
 seabirds\, despite often located in food‑limited environments. Persisten
 t hydrodynamic hotspots that enhance the advection of suspended organic ma
 terial and food items in general are therefore likely critical to sustaini
 ng these ecosystems. Through flow-topography interactions\, seamounts gene
 rate a broad range of intensified flow features\, including internal waves
  and turbulent mixing\, which in turn enhance productivity\, biomass\, and
  biodiversity. This presentation highlights key mechanisms of local-scale 
 flow-topography interaction at seamounts and their role in driving and sha
 ping species distributions and bio-physical connections\, illustrated with
  examples from different studies across the Atlantic.\n\nhttps://events.ge
