00:00These are Sophie Kalkovstie Pope and Jan Pope,
00:03they are mother and daughter and made a discovery that has been emotional
00:06for those who study the sea,
00:07they discovered the largest colony of coral that has been documented
00:11until now on the planet.
00:12The colony has 111 meters and covers a surface of 3.973 m2,
00:19this means that it is as large as a football cancha.
00:22It is located in the Great Barrera of Australian Coral
00:25When I met in the water, I never saw corals grow like this,
00:28it seemed like a praedra of coral,
00:30simply extended to the end,
00:32said Jan Pope.
00:33Since the moment we arrived, I knew that it was something special,
00:36said Sophie Kalkovstie Pope,
00:38through a communication from the organization
00:40Citizens of the Rear, which it belongs to.
00:43After that, other scientists entered into action
00:46to know precisely how much the colony was measured.
00:49They combined, for example,
00:50manual measurements with images of high resolution,
00:54then generated a 3D model detailed of the structure of the coral.
00:58As said Serena Moe,
00:59from the Center of Robotics of the University of Queensland,
01:02all this process is valuable because it allows us to compare
01:05how this colony changed throughout the time.
01:08This can help understand how this organism
01:11has done to resist the adverse conditions of the ocean
01:13that face today the corals.
01:15For Nadine it is a secret that the corals,
01:18essential for the marine life,
01:19live in one of the most difficult moments.
01:22Last year, there was a massive event of blanqueation,
01:24the worst recorded at the moment.
01:26In an opening and closing of eyes,
01:28a zone of arrecife a little deep
01:30has become a black landscape,
01:32said the investigators then.
01:34ready to go back to the next west.
01:36At the beginning and closing of the earth,
01:41You are going to see the same two characters?
01:41You will see the same two characters that we do in your home and
01:43You are going to see a lot of people
01:43You are going to see the new characters.
01:43To come back up to the main characters,
01:43the first film is the next story,
01:43the first film is what we do in the forest.
01:43I'm going to see a lot of people.
01:44You are going to watch everything with the plot.
01:44You have to be a bit to do as well,
