Summary
Bolstering Benthic Baseline – Equipping Ourselves for Long Term Monitoring is a project that aims to equip the TC Reef Fund (TCI’s most active and longest standing environmental advocacy NGO) with the materials, technology, software, and training to increase our capacity for long term, globally comparable and currently relevant data collection. A more wholistic approach to monitoring will include photogrammetry, tissue sampling for histopathology, water quality and temperature monitoring, as well as in-person field surveys with trained AGRRA surveyors.
