This video forms part of The Coral Reef Research Hubs growing historical archive of coral reef footage from around the world, both past and present. 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.

The Coral Reef Research Hub is a career development website for a growing community of coral reef professionals, researchers and early career scientists. At the core of our Hub is a free social media style interface that allows members to network with each other, create niche research groups and facilitate collaboration. By increasing collaborative efforts among researchers from around the world it is hoped to reduce duplication of work and speed up the collection of information that will help save coral reefs. The Hub also provides career opportunity listings, publication hosting, a mentorship program, knowledge sharing master classes, a small research grants program, and more. This makes us a unique online resource whose ultimate goal is to help those working to protect coral reefs around the world achieve their career and/or research aspirations.
