Samsung Helps Seatrees Recover Coral Reefs With Ocean Mode Features In The Galaxy S25 Series
JAKARTA Samsung and Seatrees, non-profit organizations that focus on the preservation of marine ecosystems, have partnered for a year. Although it has only been a year, many conservation efforts have been made by both of them.
In this first collaboration anniversary celebration, Samsung reviewed the various initiatives they have taken with Seatrees. One of the latest is the recovery of coral reefs by utilizing technology from Samsung.
At the Galaxy Unpacked last January, when the company launched the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung introduced the Coral in Focus initiative to restore the coastal ecosystem. This initiative has been started since 2024 in various countries, including the US, Fiji, and Indonesia.
Before using the Galaxy S25 series, Seatrees had used the Galaxy S24 Ultra to take underwater pictures. The company uses Ocean Mode, an exclusive camera feature that Samsung designed to take photos that are clear in water.
"The images (taken) provide accurate visual data for marine researchers who create 3D photogravimetry models to continue to monitor and analyze coral reefs," Samsung said, quoted from its official blog on Tuesday, April 22.
This 3D photogrametric model will later be used to guide various coral reef recovery efforts in predetermined locations. Although it can take pictures with ordinary cameras, Ocean Mode makes the image look more in line with the actual display.

Seatrees needs to reduce the overdoped blue rona on images to represent more accurate protective colors. In addition to reducing the blue rona, Ocean Mode can also minimize opaque movements by optimizing the speed of the core.
"In addition, the function of the interval shooting allows thousands of high-resolution mirror images to be taken in one session improving image efficiency and clarity," explained Samsung.
Thanks to the Ocean Mode feature which also exists in the Galaxy S25 series, Seatrees has produced 17 3D coral reef models. This 3D model is needed to analyze the health and growth of coral reefs so that their habitat can be restored.
