Google is offering web users a new experience. As well as being an amusing pastime, the project actually aims to help safeguard the world’s coral reefs.

The objective is to identify the presence or absence of fish in certain areas in order to help biologists to repopulate them if necessary and thus to maintain these environments, which are, by definition, highly fragile. Indeed, this ecosystem of marine life is essential to their survival.
