The focus of the project is the WWII battle for the island of Peleliu and the scattered material remains present in the submerged battlefield. The goal was to locate and photogrammetrically record sites, characterize coral growth and impacts, and to examine the reef substrate and its coral communities to determine if the scars from U.S. military blasting for access to the lagoon is visible after more than 74 years.
