Reef Resource Assessments - Planning for the Future
We are mapping and assessing all of the important geologic and oceanographic factors to identify those coral reefs most at risk and those reefs that are potentially the most resilient and the most likely to recover from natural and human-driven impacts.
Mapping Coral Reefs
No single mapping approach is effective for evaluating the overall health of a reef or to determine the cause of its demise. It is only through combining techniques that scientists can establish the most complete view of a reef, one that can be used for evaluating current reef health and providing a baseline to detect future change.
