I laughed but, it got me thinking. For many people, meaningful marine conservation has a certain look. It\u2019s aiding entangled or stranded marine life, or saving dolphins from captive swim programs. It\u2019s photogenic and tangible. But this approach is on an individual level. Saving one stranded whale or one entangled sea turtle, it\u2019s a case by case basis rather than examining threats as a whole. When we\u2019re faced with broad-reaching, ecosystem level threats such as climate change or overfishing it\u2019s harder to capture what \u2018saving\u2019 is in simple images or stories. Saving, in some ways, turns into monitoring.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_246\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 729px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im1\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright.jpg\" class=\"fresco\" data-fresco-caption=\"\" data-fresco-options=\"thumbnails:false\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-246\" src=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im1\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright-729x1024.jpg\" alt=\"DALYClare - save our seas monitor our seas\" width=\"729\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im1\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright-729x1024.jpg 729w, https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im1\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im1\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright-911x1280.jpg 911w, https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im1\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the ways we monitor coral is by measuring growth rate of specific colonies over time.

We monitor blood pressure and heart rates, we monitor weather systems and earthquakes, we monitor population growth and elections. In our field, monitoring is \u2018the continuous or frequent standardized measurement and observation of the environment (air, water, land\/soil, biota), often used for warning and control\u2019 (<a href=\"http:\/\/stats.oecd.org\/glossary\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">OCED<\/a>). Similar to monitoring our physical health or that of our country, monitoring our environment can take the shape of short term or long term projects, can be large scale or small scale. Monitoring the environment around us gives us information now. It allows us to illustrate and communicate trends of the past and aids us in estimating potential future patterns. The earlier we detect changes, the sooner we can try to understand them and to put measures into action that help reverse, mitigate or adapt to these changes. Monitoring is the key to understanding a system of broad patterns, effects and trends. And without it, we\u2019re blind to the world around us.<\/p>\n<p>Here on D\u2019Arros and on the neighbouring St Joseph Atoll we do <a href=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/our-work\/research\/\">focused research<\/a>, but long term monitoring is also an important aspect of our work. When we start a research project, we\u2019re aiming to answer theoretical questions, to answer questions of why. But when we monitor our environment, we\u2019re aiming to answer the question what. What is happening to the turtles? What mantas are in our waters? What\u2019s the health of the reef? What are normal weather trends here?<\/p>\n<h2>What We Monitor<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_247\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im2\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright.jpg\" class=\"fresco\" data-fresco-caption=\"\" data-fresco-options=\"thumbnails:false\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-247\" src=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im2\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"DALYClare - Save our seas monitor our seas\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im2\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im2\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/Blog20160602Im2\u00a9RainervonBrandisCopyright.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr Jeanne Mortimer monitors an adult hawksbill turtle fitted with a satellite tag. \nPhoto credit: Rainer von Brandis \u00a9 Save Our Seas Foundation<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/project\/sea-turtles-on-darros\/#project_leaders\">Dr Jeanne Mortimer<\/a> heads the nesting sea turtle monitoring program on both the island and atoll, a community based program that is the <a href=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/sosf-darros-research-centre\/dr-jeanne-mortimer-receives-award-honouring-life-madame-torti\/\">longest running program of its sort<\/a> in the Amirantes Islands in the Seychelles.
