Cuban scientists use new technique to study sea bottoms
Cuban scientists use new technique to study sea bottoms Matanzas, Cuba, Jul 19 (Prensa Latina) Experts in preservation and care of the environment are studying the coral reefs using 3D photogrammetry off the north coast of western Matanzas province, it was reported.
That technique provides information to biologists and other experts on the size and spatial distribution, in addition to being effective to monitor the behavior of corals and the diseases that attack them.
Esteban Grau, from the Antonio Nuñez Jimenez Foundation for Nature and Man, explained that the team of experts created a 1,100-square-meter baseline at a depth of eight meters.
The zone is in the Faro de Maya protected area and its marine sector is called El Coral, near the city of Matanzas, 100 kilometers east of Havana.
