Abstract Rising ocean temperatures are leading to coral bleaching, and because of this, 50% of Earth’s coral reefs have died within the last 30 years. Scientists have found ways to isolate microorganisms that help corals recover from stress, but this solution has not been widely implemented because of the costs associated with application. I created an underwater vehicle to optimize the delivery process of the treatment.
