Get online to help the Great Barrier Reef this Science Week – and you could win a GoPro camera! The ABC’s citizen science project Virtual Reef Diver will celebrate the International Year of the Reef by inviting people to dive through their computer screens into the Great Barrier Reef. Anyone in Australia can help scientists identify areas of decreasing coral cover and other problem spots on the Reef. To be involved as a citizen scientist you just need to go to the Virtual Reef Diver website - you’ll be shown underwater images of the Reef and, using the simple classifying tool, asked to identify whether there is coral, algae or sand etc at different spots in the images. It’s simple and fun to do - and you get more competition entries the more images you complete! This work will provide scientists and reef managers with the information they need to make critical decisions to ensure the GBR has a future. The project has been developed by the Queensland University of Technology, in conjunction with a host of scientific and community organisations. The second phase of Virtual Reef
Diver (coming later this year) will ask citizen scientists to upload their own
underwater images of the Reef – so we can get as much data as possible! |
