Increasing Ocean Stewardship and Awareness Through the Use of Large-Scale Photomosaics

The Sandin Lab has been working with state-of-the-art technology that captures coral reefs as a 3D image at a spatial scale that has never before been captured. The objective of capturing these images on such a large-scale is to monitor the growth of the coral reefs over time and understand their dynamics from a whole ecosystem perspective. I am expanding the audience that this technology currently reaches by using these large-scale 3D models as an education and outreach tool in the hopes that it increases ocean stewardship and awareness. This idea was tested on the island of Curacao with thre... Mehr ...
