From 2003 to 2009, SERDP funded the development of two technologies for assessing and monitoring coral reef health: (1) high-resolution (millimeter scale) video-mosaicing technology, capable of rapidly surveying and providing a permanent visual record for benthic areas over 100s of square meters in size (University of Miami) and (2) advanced bio-optical techniques for non-destructive assessment of selective natural and anthropogenic stresses using fluorescence induction and relaxation sensors (Rutgers University).
