Huawei-Kenya and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), have launched a project to monitor and protect coral reef and biodiversity in Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park and Reserve.
The three-year project aims to strengthen the monitoring and management efficacy of the protected area located on the southern coast of Kenya.
Underwater cameras, photogrammetry, and audio monitoring technologies will be deployed to monitor marine life, including the biomass and population of parrot fish.
In many coral reef ecosystems, parrot fish are a keystone species that, due to their diet, help prevent coral from being smothered by seaweed and algae.
