It's pretty cool that nowadays we can use Google streetview to walk down streets and

程度副詞

Amsterdam to Arkansas without a second thought, at least virtually

未來進行式

But, there is some pretty amazing strategic partnerships. Google is now going to be bringing nature to us as well

Google is partnering with the University of Queensland's global change institute

A not-for-Profit organization called Underwater Earth and an insurance company called Catlin to Bring Google Streetview

To the world's largest reef, the Great Barrier Reef

These organizations have worked together to develop an underwater camera

That's actually also kind of a submersible vehicle

And we'll be taking thousands of 360 degree panoramas of the Great Barrier Reef

stitching these together along with some GPS data will allow

to basically go take a dip in the Great Barrier Reef

So basically, I feel the way about this project that the eharmony cat lady

feels about cats, it kind of, a little bit makes me want to cry

I mean I am probably never gonna get anywhere near the great barrier reef and

in all likeliness neither are you and that's just a fact of life

The world is big and we can't go everywhere

But now you and I, if you know you're not one of the lucky ones, will be able to at least

get a glimpse of what it's like to be submerged among what is, in

actuality, the world's largest structure made by living things

Of course this project is not being done for my personal amusement,

Scientists will be able to use these extremely detailed

photographs to keep track of the reefs health, of it's growth

The photographs will also be used to conduct a large

They'll be tracking tiger sharks, Manta Rays and sea turtles

The fact is that we know a lot more about how climate change is affecting

life on land, than we do about how it's affecting life on water

and the ecosystem the great barrier reef is one of the most

complicated and important and delicate on the planet

It was somewhat in secret which is quite cool.

You can track through some of the photographs that they've already taken at catlinseaviewsurvey.com

But soon the photographs will be integrated with Google Earth,

with Google maps with panoramio and of course they have a YouTube channel which we've already

subscribed to, you should too and speaking of subscribing, you can subscribe to SciShow as well

where you will always be getting new news about cool things that are happening with science and nature
