Satellite imagery helps climate change reef study. :
"Marine researchers say satellite imagery from the United States will help them develop a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of climate change on the Great Barrier Reef."
Yes, the damage to reefs is a global problem and reef damage is being worried about everywhere. I hope we are not the generation to be responsible for the loss of such beautiful life on earth. People have been working hard on the land issues and are now looking at marine issues and given how much of the world is actually water, that's a good thing. If satellite technology can be used to help us, then we need to be using it and obviously the images from satellites will be very helpful and obviate the need to constantly make field trips.Hopefully that will cut costs and encourage more research.
