Surfer & Scientist Cliff Kapono Dives into Current MegaLab Project on World-Wide Reef Mapping

In this episode, Dr. Cliff Kapono shares his dual passion for surfing and science. We dive into his current project at MegaLab - a non-profit ocean research facility in Hilo, Hawaii - which implements modern technology to map our world’s reef systems. The project's goal is to have over 1 million reefs documented by 2030 and train an army of citizen scientists to help.  As he says in this deep dive into reef mapping, “We have more information and technology working on the mapping of the surface of Mars than we do our own ocean floors.”
