Phanor is Program Manager for the Coral Restoration Foundation, protecting and out-planting critically endangered coral species to recover the live coral cover in the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary. In his home country Colombia, he also co-founded Corales de Paz, a conservation NGO that applies citizen science to coral reef monitoring and restoration. Colombia’s most comprehensive effort to accelerate the recovery of coral reefs includes capacity-building for large-scale coral gardening, habitat restoration, impact control improvements, and community enhancement. Phanor also pioneered the digitalization of Colombia ́s coral reef monitoring surveys with structure-from-motion techniques and tools to improve image capture. Mission accomplished? We get the feeling that Phanor is far from finished! keep up with him on Instagram.
