CIEE Offers New Lecture--Mapping Bonaire’s Reefs Using High Tech Robots and Mixed Gas Diving

As a follow-up to a previous story, CIEE Bonaire is offering a free, public lecture regarding the mapping of Bonaire’s reef using high tech robots and mixed gas diving.

This lecture will take place on Monday, January 28, 2008 at 7:30 pm at the CIEE headquarters at Kaya Gobernador N. Debrot # 21.  The lecture will focus upon the work being done by a team of marine scientists from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Iceland, who are using three free-swimming robots, and other high technology, to help inventory the reefs of Bonaire.  Included is an overview of how the technology works, the kinds of data and maps they are making, and how this will benefit the people of Bonaire.  (Source:  Bonaire Marine Park)

1. Most beautiful reefs in the World - especially New Cove!

   I’m glad to read of the remapping of the reefs and can’t wait to dive them again, soon.

   Thanks. Susan.
