Mike Gil spies on fish: using novel multi-camera systems and computer vision technology, the TED Fellow and his colleagues explore how coral reef fish behave, socialize and affect their ecosystems. Learn more about how fish of different species communicate via social networks — and what disrupting these networks might mean to the delicate ecology of reefs, which help feed millions of us and support the global economy.

  1. Your TedTalk Mike, Congratulations! I’ve been following sciall.org from the very beginning. I was waiting for this video. SAIL!

  2. My sister works @ the great barrier reef and there is no coral problem at all. It’s a big myth. It just saves itself every year again. Better find a solution for the plastic in the ocean.
