360 video of coral reef scientists at work!

Dive in and join WHOI researchers as they survey a coral reef in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, in this immersive 360 video. During a reef survey, divers layout coordinates with a tape measure and travel up and down that line documenting coral species, size, and health. This particular survey was conducted by post-doctoral scholar Anya Brown, MIT-WHOI graduate student Lei Ma, and WHOI research associate, Jeanne Bloomberg as part of an ongoing project being led by WHOI Associate Scientist, Amy Apprill.
