"New photographic technology has allowed scientists to dive beneath the ocean’s
surface and peer into the hidden world of baby corals, to learn how these tiny
organisms survive and grow in their crucial first year of life.
In a study just published, researchers from Southern Cross University and CSIRO
describe how advanced imaging techniques offer new ways to monitor baby corals.
Corals provide vital habitat for a large variety of marine life. So it’s useful
to better understand how baby corals select and attach to reefs, establish
themselves and grow into adult corals.
This knowledge is particularly important if we want to help reefs recover from
devastating events such as mass bleaching and cyclones."
