Funded Activity Summary

High-resolution multispectral underwater imaging for coral reef mapping and characterization. This project will enable improved mapping and monitoring from underwater vehicles and divers. We expect to aid the sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity in the specific case of corals reefs by increasing the quality of survey data and the extent, precision and repeatability of surveys. This project will develop technologies to assist monitoring the Great Barrier Reef and determining effects of management strategies. Since these developments focus on imaging and mapping the ocean floors they could also be of use in developing deep earth resources.
