Machine learning and a slew of other tools have helped us learn that the world's coral reefs are actually bigger than we thought.
Our world's coral reefs are much larger than we previously believed. According to a report shared on The Conversation by Mitchell Lyons, a postdoctoral research fellow at The University of Queensland, and Stuart Phinn, a Professor of Geography at The University of Queensland, researchers found 64,000 square kilometers of coral reef we didn't know existed. The ground-breaking discovery brings the total size of our planet's shallow reefs to roughly 348,000 square kilometers.
These high-resolution satellites made it possible to view reefs as deep as 30 meters down. When coupled with the direct observations and records of the world's coral reefs, the researchers say they were able to ascertain that a large amount of the world's coral reefs had not been identified or noted down anywhere. And that had to be changed.
