[Coral-List] WANTED: Coral Reef Video Footage

[Dr Stuart P Wynne]

Dear Coal-list,

In an effort to build a coral reef historical record from around the 
world we are seeking video footage of coral reef areas that can be 
edited by us and added to our growing archive. Current entries to this 
archive can be found on our YouTube channel playlist here 
(https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtJT-r-qnTl0CHfyDc_nlLUYWtjDzvpVb) 
or listed in alphabetical order on our website here 
(https://www.thecoralreefresearchhub.com/historical-archive/). The 
videos do not need to be quantified in any detailed way, although the 
date shot and general location details are needed (small geographic 
areas preferred i.e. size of a dive site or small reef area). Although 
the archive presents non-systematic video and still records, being 
organised into small geographical units means generic comparisons can be 
made between past and present habitat states. For example, it will be 
possible to analyse the videos to a certain extent and quantify change 
in broad ecological markers such as coral cover or algae cover.

Any contributions are greatly appreciated, and we hope as it grows this 
archive will become a useful resource for both coral researchers and 
managers.

Many thanks!
