Monitoring our recently established coral outplanting studies this past week!
These particular corals have had just over 3 months to get acquainted with their new environments. For bushy and branching growth forms at this stage they typically have started growing over the CoralClip device used to plant them. For the massive corals outplanted with cement they’re already blending into their environment. Given a coral outplants propensity to become inconspicuous overtime we have been using photogrammetry to monitor these plots, this way every coral can be accounted for through time and space with confidence. Swipe through to see if you can spot all the outplanted corals!
