2013 has been an incredibly exciting year for the project. The year marked the start of the global rollout of our coral reef surveys, in 2013 we focused on researching, recording and revealing the coral reefs of the Caribbean and Bermuda regions.
Our team of marine biologists, communications experts and logistics specialists are now finally heading home, bringing with them with around 700kg’s of survey equipment and a huge amount of data that will help scientists and marine park managers better understand our coral reefs.

A great result following a long campaign period in the North Atlantic. We look forward to being able to work with more great partners and scientific institutions in 2014 when we move our focus to the Coral Triangle.
