Today, a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool has been developed that can remotely monitor global coral reefs. The tool, created by a team of researchers from the University of Queensland, uses images from satellites and underwater cameras to detect changes to coral reefs over time. This technology is a major breakthrough for understanding the health of our world’s coral reefs. With the AI tool, scientists are now able to monitor coral reefs from afar, without needing to physically visit each reef. This saves time and money, and allows for continuous monitoring of coral reefs both near and far. The tool has already been used to detect coral bleaching events in the Great Barrier Reef, and researchers are looking forward to further applications of the technology.
