The most up-to-date global satellite images of the world’s coral reefs are now online, as part of joint project by the University of Queensland and Microsoft’s late co-founder, Paul G. Allen.
The images will contribute to the mapping and monitoring project, the Allen Coastal Atlas, to be completed in 2020.
With high-resolution satellite imagery and advanced analytics allowing for the mapping and monitoring ofthe world’s coral reefs in unprecedented detail, researchers are calling the development a game changer in strengthening conservation efforts.
