Dell Technologies and Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef

With only 5% of the Great Barrier Reef regularly monitored, scientists and managers need up-to-date insights on reef state to better target their resources. To help guide decision-making, Dell Technologies and Intel are working with Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef and the University of Queensland to enable real-time data collection as part of our Great Reef Census project.

Assigning vessels to certain priority reefs will create an influx of invaluable photos that will enable the team to map the state of many reefs and use that information to identify those reefs that are most important in driving recovery from recent bleaching events.

“Being able to run IoT solutions in remote locations will change the way we view the world. We’re proud to have been a part of enabling citizen scientists around the world to help protect Australia’s Great Barrier Reef,” says Ryan McCurdy, Vice President, Global Accounts, Intel.
