As part of the shallow and deep reef teams' last deployment for 2014, we have just finished re-visiting sites on the Great Barrier Reef that we first surveyed back in October 2012. In partnership with the Waitt Foundation, the team has spent 14 days surveying 14 remote and spectacular coral reefs from Cairns to the far north sections of the Great Barrier Reef. This is a key milestone achievement for the project as it is the first time we have re-surveyed sites with the SVII camera in order to monitor changes over time. We achieved all of our goals for this trip with the shallow team successfully surveying 32 sites at 14 reefs across 59kms.
