The Catlin Seaview Survey is first and foremost an important scientific expedition. It aims to carry out the first comprehensive study to document the composition and health of coral reefs on the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea across an unprecedented depth range - addressing a series of important questions regarding the changes associated with the rapidly warming and acidifying oceans.
However this is not just another scientific survey. This project is very different. The images from the expedition, when stitched together, will allow scientists and the public at large to explore the reef remotely through any device connected to the Internet. It will allow them to choose a location, dip underwater, look around and go off on a virtual dive. Click on Seaview Demo to see some beautiful 360 degrees panoramas.
