The aim of the project is to crowdsource observations of local marine life. Mr. Clive Crisp from DECC and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viewintotheblue.com\/team\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr. Trevor Mendelow<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, CEO of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viewintotheblue.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">View Into The Blue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the company that developed the equipment, described the project to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EM<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe believe that engaging the public is key for ocean stewardship and conservation,\u201d explains Mr. Mendelow. \u201cScientists have always strived to do public outreach as part of their professional life, but few tools existed to make that a reality. Having the public understand a research question and participate in collecting images and data or training data sets for artificial intelligence is a practical reality, and it is our hope that our new instruments with AI on the edge device will accelerate this trend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her Majesty\u2019s Government of Gibraltar\u2019s Department of the Environment, Heritage, and Climate Change has been elaborating a citizen science project for some time now which includes different aspects of marine monitoring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Underwater Camera is a powerful tool, which is used in so many ways,\u201d adds Mr. Crisp. \u201cIt has had a big public engagement angle to it, and people are drawn to the fascinating marine life in our waters. Before the development of these underwater live cams, only people who snorkel and dive, or who are fit or young enough could enjoy and observe the underwater realm. We have seen a large increase in positive communication from the general public with regards to the underwater camera, and our citizen science project is gaining momentum fast.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31112\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31112\" class=\"size-large wp-image-31112\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_cameras_2-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"underwater webcam\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_cameras_2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_cameras_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_cameras_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_cameras_2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_cameras_2-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_cameras_2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Clive Crisp servicing the underwater camera.

Thus far, its video feed is attracting hundreds\u2014sometimes thousands\u2014of visitors each day, each one \u201cseeing\u201d an aquarium-style view of what the camera sees on their smartphone or tablet screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sitting 13.5 meters below the surface since 2005, the camera itself has some special features that allow it to stand up to the rigors of its environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31111\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31111\" class=\"size-large wp-image-31111\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_xmas-600x340.jpg\" alt=\"underwater webcam\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_xmas-600x340.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_xmas-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_xmas.jpg 643w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Dennis has a message for his grandson. (Credit: Gibraltar DECC)<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is a 1080p IP-based instrument in a special self-cleaning housing that combats the process of biofouling,\u201d Mr. Mendelow says. \u201cBiofouling is the accumulation of living organisms on the instrument\u2019s surface. The cleaning arm keeps the optical dome clean without divers having to clean it. This also means that there is less disturbance, which paints a more realistic picture of the ecosystem. The system also monitors salinity, pH, and temperature.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team selected the housing area for the camera based on several factors, including access to a strong land connection for internet and power. Just as importantly, though, is the spot&#8217;s residence inside a fully-protected marine conservation zone, which is a notable area for seagrass restoration and an important site for fish aggregation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe location was chosen as the site had very recently been afforded protection under local legislation as a no fishing\/no anchoring area,\u201d details Mr. Crisp. \u201cThe area itself is a beautiful underwater biogenic rocky reef system which boasts of important marine biodiversity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the team has already made a few surprising observations, thanks to both the camera an public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe area is a No Take Zone and was afforded this level of protection recently, so we are noticing species which we have not seen before in the area,\u201d Mr. Crisp continues. \u201cFor example, this summer (through citizen scientists) we logged dusky groupers (Epinephelus marginatus) for the first time in the area. We hope to continue seeing this highly sought after fish species on the camera.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">More cameras, more amazing views<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe hope to install more underwater cameras,\u201d states Mr. Mendelow. \u201cOff the south coast is a fascinating marine shelf that sits in the narrows of the Gibraltar Straits. This would offer incredible views of turtles, whales, dolphins, sharks, tuna, and other marine species.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31120\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31120\" class=\"size-large wp-image-31120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_citizenScience-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"underwater webcam\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_citizenScience-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_citizenScience-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_citizenScience-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_citizenScience-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_citizenScience-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/underwater_camera_citizenScience-940x529.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Various images captured by the underwater camera which have been submitted by citizen scientists.

Others are using it for research of their own, finding that the camera and feed allow them to observe and count fish in their natural environment, without disturbing them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the remote monitoring that citizen scientists are doing doesn&#8217;t replace monitoring work someone from the research team would otherwise have to do, but it does dovetail perfectly with the research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt compliments work that we currently undertake, and many other sightings of notable marine species are noted by the general public,\u201d comments Mr. Crisp. \u201cAs the spreadsheets reported are sent back with screenshots, we can verify and use this in our database, and it is therefore not considered as anecdotal evidence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get your own view of the underwater camera at <a
