Vision Transformers sharpen reef monitoring to target crown-of-thorns starfish

A 99.18% classification accuracy for detecting crown-of-thorns starfish is not just a number, it is a measurable leap in how we monitor reef threats. Manual diver surveys are slow and dangerous. By fusing Vision Transformers with convolutional networks, this approach makes detection faster, safer, and empirically validated. Understanding drives protection.
