3D Reefscapes

Take a virtual dive into a few of our monitoring sites! 

By using components of these models, we are able to calculate the rugosity or structural complexity of our reefs. This is important because the more structurally complex our reefs are, the better it is at weakening wave energy especially during storm events.

(Note: These are low quality models in order to make it more easily available to the public.)
