POV: BRUV Episode 5 - Count the sharks

When we pull our BRUVs out of the water on a research expedition, our work doesn’t stop there. Looking through all the footage, we work to quantify the relative abundance and size of the species we see, ultimately passing this data to our partners to aid in marine protection efforts. 

Help us out - how many sharks do you see here? 🦈 

Baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVs) are a scientific surveying tool that uses unmanned high-definition cameras to spot and record species on a reef. In this #POVBRUV series, we leave the humans behind and watch what happens.
