Facial recognition tech could be key to saving coral reefs

Scientists are using facial recognition technology and 360-degree underwater photos to examine the effects of coral bleaching in a speedy and innovative way. 

New software building on the two can examine thousands of images over weeks, rather than years. It's 900 times faster than previous methods and more accurate than a human.
