Assessment of coral cover and potential damage to coral reefs
Besides expertise on the rehabilitation and recovery of tropical coral reef ecosystems, another area of work is the assessment of the state of coral reefs and the potential damage due to human impacts. In 2017, our coral expert Dr. Miriam Schutter and marine ecologist Dr. Martijn Dorenbosch surveyed a coral reef on Curaçao using transects and photo-quadrants to assess live coral cover, colony sizes, apparent health, and potential damage.
