Students Save Reefs with AI & Citizen Science
Update: 2025-11-29
Description
In regional New South Wales, high school students are making waves in marine conservation, classifying coral images for the Great Reef Census. This hands-on work, guided by their science teacher, allows them to contribute directly to conservation efforts. Meanwhile, global conservation faces challenges due to cuts in aid funding, pushing conservationists to find innovative solutions. Enter artificial intelligence, which can speed up coral image analysis, enabling monitoring of more reefs. Despite AIs potential, citizen scientists remain crucial, creating passionate advocates for reef protection. As the sixth Great Reef Census begins, the hope is that more schools will join, empowering young people to make a real difference for our oceans.
