To make informed decisions about the best way to manage our precious coral reefs, we need to be able to accurately monitor their condition, gathering data about how they are being impacted by increasing pressures. As coral reefs experience environmental stress, it is critical that monitoring remains accurate, compatible, and collaborative to support coral reef conservation.

ReefCloud is an open-access platform, currently being developed to quickly and efficiently collate data to inform reef management decisions. Guided by end-users and using cutting-edge technology in data science and machine learning, ReefCloud will help to:

* Manage, archive, and share monitoring data;
* Fast-track the recording of changes to coral reef communities using automated technologies; and
* Collaborate and communicate widely on our understanding of where and how coral reefs are changing.

To use ReefCloud you just need to follow 4 simple steps (more details below):
