Several members of the scientific dive team enter the water. For her thesis work, Noelle Relles is conducting video transects to determine percent coral cover. To accomplish this, she needs help with data collection. One member of the dive team will navigate along a predetermined heading, while another controls a global positioning system (GPS) unit attached to a surface buoy by a line and reel. Relles follows closely behind the navigator and collects video images of the sea floor. Image courtesy of Bonaire 2008: Exploring Coral Reef Sustainability with New Technologies.
