Research & Experiments

The HIMB Coral Nursery is an active in-situ laboratory. Below are our primary areas of research and ongoing experiments.

3D Photogrammetry & Monitoring

One of our core ongoing projects is the tracking of coral health and growth through high-resolution imaging.

By utilizing bi-monthly 3D photogrammetry, we maintain a “living history” of the nursery. This allows us to:

• Track growth rates of specific coral genotypes.
• Monitor bleaching patterns over time.
• Analyze structural complexity and reef accretion.
