Chen Hong: Urgently need to establish international coral survey standards

I do n’t know how many people read the report of the Australian Barrier Reef, which I feel that I feel more professional. Their survey method is mainly a test survey method. Unlike our method, the advantage is that the area is large. The cross -section distance is 200 meters.This is related to the transparency of the sea area. The water reef is clear. Our Hainan Island and South China coastal water is mixed, so our approach also has its rationality.

Their defects are to separate high -temperature albinization with the rise of long spiny starfish although they are separated, but they do not make it clear that these two albinizations have different abilities for self -repair of corals.

my country has been surveyed for nearly 30 years, and has accumulated a lot of beneficial experience. With the emergence of new technologies, a new set of technical standards need to be established, strengthen cooperation with international counterparts, and strive to establish international corals under the establishment of new technologies under the establishment of new technologies. Survey standards.
