Barrier reefs have been in severe difficulty in seas all over the world. Sea heating, smog, overfishing, and intrusive species are hurting these lively environments, but evaluating the creatures health could be difficult. Not just are corals, nicely, marine, however the conventional means of executing check ups depart anything to become desired. While former marine biologist Sly Lee noticed his other researchers counting on traditional tape measurers to evaluate harm to reefs, he appeared to engineering to get a better answer.

He might have discovered one. The Hydrous, the charitable Lee started, is making high resolution, fun types of these marine invertebrates. By evaluating the digital corals overtime, researchers could possibly get a-comprehensive image of the way the real life barrier is faring. Fundamentally, the Hydrous goals to design whole reefs, producing them available—to even the absolute most landlocked scientists and pupils—with the press of the mouse.
