What's CORAL WATCH?
CoralWatch is a nonprofit citizen science program run by the University of Queensland. It engages volunteers worldwide to enhance understanding of coral ecosystems, climate change, and coral bleaching. By using a standardized coral health color chart, participants can assess and quantify changes in coral color, indicating the health of the coral. The collected data is uploaded by citizen scientists to monitor coral health globally. This data contributes to research through big data analysis, offering everyone a chance to participate in coral conservation efforts.

1. 隨機選擇珊瑚類型，並找出顏色最淺的區域。
2. 旋轉圖卡，找出和色卡上最相近的顏色。
3. 記錄下顏色代碼。
4. 再選擇珊瑚顏色最深的區域，並記下相對應的色卡顏色代碼。
5. 記錄珊瑚種類，用珊瑚生長形狀簡易分四個選項。
6. 選擇其他的珊瑚重複上述動作，一次調查至少記錄 10 corals during each survey.
7. 透過coral watch官網將資料上傳。
