Abstract
This report looks at different ways to study and monitor coastal reef habitats, which are important for marine life and environmental health. It reviews tools and techniques—like underwater surveys, aerial photography, and satellite images—that can help scientists track changes in these habitats over time. The goal is to find reliable and practical methods that can be used regularly to understand how reef areas are changing, especially in protected zones. The report also suggests how these methods can be used in national monitoring programmes to support marine conservation and policy decisions.
