Hello everyone, my team and I are utilizing Planet data for reef assessment in Buccoo Reef, Tobago. Reefs in the Caribbean region have suffered a substantial loss of 60% - 80% since 1970s and Tobago haveĀ been severely affected. We hope to use our results to implement monitoring and management strategies for the Buccoo Reef.Ā
