<p>Researchers used Earth-orbiting satellites to map coral reef biodiversity at a global scale to show that areas of high habitat diversity also have high species diversity. This new satellite mapping technique can help guide future efforts to identify and protect highly biodiverse reefs, according to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science research team that conducted the study.</p>

Close At the recent International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS), one of the studies presented is about a new model that would help map and monitor coral reef health across the South Pacific. Using data collected from the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation's Global Reef Expedition, a team of researchers devised a new and innovative method that helps identify which natural and man-made factors could help coral and fish communities thrive. The new study, led by Anna Bakker, will help future efforts identify which coral reefs would adapt and survive in our changing world. (Photo : Photo cre...
