To monitor the health of Casino Point Reef, divers count marine life and measure kelp and algae growth.
The Casino Point Reef is home to many species, including California’s state fish, the Garibaldi.
The reef was damaged in 2014 by violent storms. Frequent monitoring of the ecosystem helps to track its recovery.
The Catalina Casino has been an entertainment destination on Catalina Island since 1929.
