In this webinar, explore how Sofar’s Spotter Platform is advancing hypoxia research and safeguarding coral reefs in the Gulf of Mexico, with a Q&A following the session.
The webinar will cover the impact of hypoxia (low oxygen conditions) on the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary’s (FGBNMS) coral reef ecosystems.
It will also discuss how the University of Texas Marine Science Institute uses Spotter to monitor dissolved oxygen and assess reef health, particularly during warmer months.
Additionally, the webinar will highlight how FGBNMS collaborates with researchers to enhance monitoring, inform conservation decisions, and protect marine ecosystems.
