GoPro Hero4 cameras are here

Thank you once again to all my financial backers. I received the cameras just before I left St. John, USVI this past Thursday. This month I will be planning my research for Easter Island, where I will be utilizing the GoPro cameras and collecting baseline data for my doctoral thesis. I will also keep my financial backers updated through experiment.com and my website, unionave.net. More information to follow.

About This Project

Ecology and Sustainable Management of Oceanic Islands
On remote tropical islands, coral reefs can be affected by the impacts of strong waves and historical overfishing. This project will focus on the effects those impacts have on the coral reefs of Easter Island and Salas y Gómez. Imagery of the benthic communities will be recorded using advanced digital photomosaic technology, as described by Gintert et al., (2012). The images will provide data on the overall health of the coral reefs through time.
