Global Reef Record

This is very cool. It is like Google earth, but for reefs.

Globalreefrecord.org

Finding the 360 maps is not very intuitive, so you can follow this link to a reef in Australia: Globalreefrecord.org/transect_explorer/12003/image/120032822/threesixty

It is not very easy to navigate, but if you click "Map" you will see all the reefs, then click on a reef and a smaller map apears, then click on more details or view details, and that's when the 3D maps apears.

I found out about this website through a youtube channel called "Smarter every Day." They map around 2Km every time, and they are working on software to recognize all the corals and eventually return a few years later, re-map the area and see how the reefs are doing.
