An autonomous underwater vehicle is being used to examine a kelp forest on a reef near the beautiful island.
"A focus of the study will be on how kelp forests influence biodiversity and productivity by generating food for valuable resources such as fisheries," CSIRO research scientist Dr Mat Vanderklift said at Sailworld.com.
"Our observations will enable us to monitor and adapt to processes such as changes to major currents or climate change."
