Researchers have spent 200 hours diving down to the reef to collect samples and take photographs and measurements.
The reef is located off the coast of Tahiti. According to a report by the Associated Press (AP), the reef was first discovered by a researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research during a recreational dive with a local diving club.
Laetitia Hedouin told the AP that she realized that the reef was worth studying as soon as she saw it. She said it looked like it hadn’t been affected by a bleaching event that occurred in 2019.
