The Carysfort Reef Over Time (IMAGE)
Caption
Images A-E are taken at the identical location on Carysfort reef, wider Caribbean, over a time span of 40 years. The aesthetic value generated for each picture shows a significant degradation of aesthetic appearance during this period (a lower score indicates a more aesthetic appearance). The historic images from 1975 suggests that the aesthetic appearance of this reef in the wider Caribbean was comparable to present day nearly untouched and healthy reefscapes which only can be found in remote places like the National Wildlife Refuge of the Palmyra atoll in the Central Pacific (F).
