This mission monitored shallow coral plots established in 2006. Researchers assessed coral health, reef fish populations, bottom structure and species composition of reef habitats, as well as conducting a socioeconomic assessment of reef fish fisheries.
Announcing the 15th Annual Science Without Borders® Challenge: Navigate with Care
Every day, fishing boats, ferries, sailboats, kayaks, research vessels, cargo ships, whales, sea turtles, dolphins, seabirds, and countless other marine animals share the same waters. While people rely on the ocean for transportation, recreation, research, fishing, and exploration, it is also home to some of the most diverse and important ecosystems on Earth.
That simple but powerful idea is the inspiration behind the 15th Annual Science Without Borders® Challenge.
