A team of researchers have taken over 2 million photos of coral reefs around the world at the depth of 15 metres under the sea with this technology. Those underwater photos have been connected with GPS systems by a self-developed software. In this way, the global online map has been ...
The researchers behind the map hope that it will help governments around the world better understand and protect increasingly threatened coral reefs. “There are countries, organizations and government agencies in the world that don’t have a map of their reefs […] so these maps will help peopl...

This report concerns the first ever detailed map-based assessment of potential threats to coral reef ecosystems around the world. "Reefs at Risk" draws on 14 data sets (including maps of landcover ports settlements and shipping lanes) information on 800 sites known to be degraded by people and...
"There's so many questions that we can ask and can be answered with this type of discovery that we may not have been able to before," Carlton said. "Especially with the rate of change that we're seeing with coral reefs around the world, having something this beautiful and pristi...

The text is richly illustrated with examples of each sensing technology applied to a range of scientific, monitoring and management questions in reefs around the world. As such, the book is broadly accessible to a general audience, as well as students, managers, remote sensing specialists and ...
“The initiative, launched at The Economist World Ocean Summit in February, brings together ocean, climate and marine scientists as well as conservationists from around the world to develop a list of the 50 most critical coral reefs in need of protection. ...
“Especially something as simple as the jellyfish. Fighting climate change motivates Engeberg and his team. “I have a deep desire to help endangered reefs around the world,he says. He hopes his robo-jellyfish will help researchers study hidden impacts of climate change at sea.The robo-jelly...
