Each week, we feature a worthy citizen science project or nature news segment from around the nation. This week, as we continue to feature projects to do from home, we bring you NeMO-Net from NASA.
NeMO-Net by NASA
NASA has created a new video game to help classify coral reefs and other ocean environments. You play by painting 2D and 3D overlays of coral and rate others while moving up in the food chain. From NASA:
NeMO-Net is an opensource deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that leverages NASA’s Supercomputer, Pleiades, to use game data to classify and assess the health of coral reefs around the world.

The new technology is better able to distinguish living coral reefs with better accuracy and less optical distortion of the water. Learn more and start playing HERE.
