SDG 14 (Life Below Water): It supports efforts to conserve marine biodiversity.Digitization can utilize drone technology for aerial photography and remote sensing, providing high-resolution imagery data to help scientists gain a more comprehensive understanding of the geographic features and trends of the Great Barrier Reef. Additionally, employing sonar technology and underwater robotic detectors allows for precise monitoring and assessment of the growth status of coral reefs, fish habitats, and marine pollution deep underwater.
