Thought Leader: Building a Global "Smart Ocean" Platform—Proteus Ocean Group

“We still know surprisingly little of how underwater weather impacts the resilience of coral reefs and the survival of reef organisms, largely due to our inability to map these variables at the high resolution necessary.”
