“Deep coral reefs happen all over the world and generally reaches depths of up to 150 meters. They host different environmental societies of shallow coral reefs that most people think, but they enjoy relatively deep -deep. It will be a similarity in a large part of the citizen.
Over the past four years, you have developed cost -effective ways using a remote (ROVS) vehicles to study deep coral reefs and how to change them with the climate. In marine environment, a lot of research is done while diving into diving, but often we are not allowed to dive under 30 meters. We cannot restrict our work to shallow depths; We need innovative ways to do deep marine science.
In this picture, I try Rove, equipped with the camera in the diamond islands in the coral sea off the coast of eastern Australia. My husband and colleague, Ben Kriswell, holds the rope and captain Casey Castro leads the boat. Some of the Roof cameras are constantly, while others take pictures of the timeline every 10 seconds. It takes about 40 minutes to complete the entire scanning of the coral reefs. Later on the laboratory, we watch the video clips of the fish account, estimate the coral cover and collect other data.
