New Support for Reef Halo Research

We are deeply grateful to the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation for their generous support of our work to transform reef halos into a scalable tool for monitoring coral reef health.

This new two-year grant will help our team continue developing AI-powered approaches that use satellite imagery to detect and measure reef halos: the pale rings around coral reefs that can offer valuable insight into ecosystem balance. With this support, we are moving closer to a future where reefs around the world can be monitored more efficiently, more often, and at much larger scales than traditional field surveys alone allow.

We are grateful for the Foundation’s belief in this work and thankful for their commitment to ocean conservation. Their support strengthens our ability to build science that can inform real-world conservation decisions and help protect reefs at a global scale.
