Catlin Group establishes Global Reef Record

Catlin Group, a sponsor of the Catlin Seaview Survey expedition for two years, introduced a global database and online research tool relating to major coral reef ecosystems. The Catlin Global Reef Record will enable scientists around the world to collaborate and understand changes to coral reefs and related marine environments.

The record, which is freely available to the scientific community and the public at large, the Catlin Global Reef Record features hundreds of thousands of 360-degree panoramic sets taken during expeditions to Bermuda and beyond.

Stephen Catlin, CEO of Catlin Group Limited, said: “the Catlin Global Reef Record reaffirms Catlin’s commitment to financing impartial environmental research, which began in 2009 with the Catlin Arctic Survey and renewed in 2012 with the Catlin Seaview Survey. As a company that helps clients manage risk, we are thrilled to be part of international efforts to develop truly game=changing science that helps everyone better understand the risks of tomorrow.”
