Coral reefs are vital to ocean life and the ecosystem. They provide shelter and food for millions of marine species, help biodiversity, and offer coastal protection against erosion. They also support local economies, tourism, and fisheries.
Unfortunately, due to several factors, such as pollution and destructive fishing practices, coral reefs are dying before our very eyes. Or, more specifically, away from our sight. Samsung is trying to do its part to bring the issue to light. Samsung shared the story in an amazing 18-minute video titled Coral in Focus. You can watch it below.
As Seatrees cofounder and director Michael Stewart says in the video, “If people can't see it, then how can you ask them to save it?”
This is one of the main hurdles regarding coral reef restoration. Coral reefs dying is a problem for marine life and humans alike, but because these issues are tucked away in the ocean and difficult to see, they are also easy to miss.
Samsung is collaborating with Seatrees and Scripps to help local communities in Fiji and other areas in their efforts to restore coral reefs. Using mobile camera technology, Samsung assists in these efforts by making it easier to capture images and collect data without expensive specialized equipment.
Samsung Image Quality Engineer Sanghyup Park developed a new camera technology called Ocean Mode. You may have heard of it before. It isn't available for consumers but allows coral reef restorers to capture photos and create 3D maps of coral reefs with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which has one of the best mobile camera systems around.
The clever camera mode, which Samsung briefly details in the 18-minute Coral in Focus video below, was made available to coral reef researchers in Fiji, Indonesia (Bali), and the USA (Florida).
Capturing photos underwater is tricky, as light waves behave differently underwater. Samsung created Ocean Mode to account for these differences in the environment.
Furthermore, using two Galaxy S24 Ultra phones encased in waterproof shells attached to a simple device, researchers can capture stereoscopic photos of the ocean floor from different angles and stitch the data to create 3D maps.
This allows coral reef researchers to observe the ocean floor more carefully and analyze coral reefs even after diving sessions. They can later extract data that may have been difficult to process underwater.
Researchers can use photos and 3D maps to analyze the survivorship and growth rates of corals, the impacts of bleaching, and more. Samsung is making this process easier with the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the exclusive Ocean Mode, which is gradually being adopted by more coral reef restoration projects.
We highly recommend watching the video above for a closer look at the technology and also to learn more about coral reefs and their critical role in the environment.
