albertareef Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I was poking around online trying to supplement my rather out of date coral ID skills and found some interesting stuff. Coral Hub is a site that seems to be dedicated to advancing general knowledge about coral ID techniques and hosts training materials for a field guide called Coral Finder that is tied to the Corals of the World illustrated books. The Coral Finder is really designed for field (dive) use but it's principles of visual cue based ID are pretty useful even for a trip to C&C! I think it is definitely worth a peak... http://www.coralhub.info There were some other interesting things that showed up such as http://www.coralsoftheworld.org and http://coral.aims.gov.au which have more in depth information on taxonomy, geography, reproduction, disease, etc. but these aren't really organized as ID tools. Definitely lots of good info though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugots Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Sweet. I just came across the Corals of the World website today. I was about to post a link here, but I see that it's already covered. (Thanks for that and for the other links, @albertareef.) The website is still in beta but mostly functional. The video tour is worth watching so you know what the site can do for you. Also you can register and save searches and lists, provide feedback, etc. Science, anyone? Here's a link straight to the video: http://www.coralsoftheworld.org/page/video-tour/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
