Problema

Novas pesquisas sugerem que populações controladas de estrelas-do-mar coroa-de-espinhos podem aumentar a diversidade de corais. Um protocolo de registro de campo poderia ajudar a acompanhar seu impacto e informar a gestão do recife.

O que estão a construir

A printable one-page field log template (PDF or spreadsheet) with fields for date, location (GPS or reef name), number of starfish observed, type of coral affected, percentage of coral tissue remaining, and notes on visible coral recovery. Trialed by a small group of 5-10 divers at a single reef site over one month, coordinated by a local marine research group.

Porque importa

Hypothesis: A simple, standardized log increases the consistency and usefulness of field data on starfish feeding and coral recovery compared to unstructured notes or memory-based reporting. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 80% of participating divers submit completed logs for 4+ dives each over one month. Baseline: No structured log in use. Success measured by number of usable logs and diversity of data captured, reviewed by the coordinator.
