For several weeks late next year, people visiting the Great Barrier Reef will be asked to take photos of it and upload them to an app. Then, anyone in the world with internet access will be invited to log on to help identify the corals and their condition.
Great Barrier Reef Andy Ridley is shivering in a wet T-shirt on the deck of the Dreamtime after coming up from a dive on the outer edge of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
The tourist boat had run out of wetsuits, but Ridley jumped in anyway to give his latest ambassador, conservationist and explorer David de Rothschild, a demonstration of his latest project.Ridley has form when it comes to asking people to perform simple tasks for the environment. In Sydney in 2007, he started Earth Hour -- the global"lights out" movement which asked whole cities to turn off non-essential lights for an hour on a designated day -- that has since spread to 188 countries.
The race to save the Great Barrier Reef 03:49Ridley chatted with Peter Mumby, head of the Marine Spatial Ecology Lab at the University of Queensland, and Roger Beeden, the director of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. They needed to know more about the state of the reef, but were coming up short. Long-term scientific monitoring had only collected detailed information on a small number of reefs -- not enough for marine park managers to form a cohesive response to climate change.
