Waterproof action cameras, iPhones, and drones. Using technology called structure from motion photogrammetry to recreate reef breaks in 3D anyone with a digital screen can experience what life is like below the curl, ultimately understanding the best waves on the planet.
Knowledge is power, and being able to better understand our coral Reefs allows us to better protect our oceans and ecosystem, ultimately providing a healthier world for everyone. In addition, the more we understand wave systems, the better waves we can surf.
We’ve teamed up with The Mega Lab to do Mapping the right way. The Mega Lab is a non-profit ocean research group that develops new technology to protect our oceans and provide it to the communities who need it the most. It’s, led by Professor Cliff Kapono, a professional surfer, chemist, and journalist.us.
