One of the sites we host is Sea-Coos. When pronounced out loud it sounds like an epithet for a slutty mermaid, but it’s actually an acronym for Southeast Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing System, which is a fancy way of saying “we look at the water a lot.”
Anyway, they had a minor DNS problem, which I fixed, but in checking the fix I noticed an article on the site about the Fish Watch project.
Fish Watch is a project studying marine fish behavior, movements, and species groupings in continental shelf waters off the coast of the state of Georgia. Collaborating in this study are the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Marine Resources Division, the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, and the US Naval TACTS program. The study is funded in part by the Office of Naval Research, National Ocean Partnership Program. The study is conducted with an observational system of 6 underwater cameras that monitor the activities around an artificial reef habitat.
The Fish Watch Program home page is here, and the (mostly) fish clips can be found here. I especially liked the loon videos, in the Uncommon Visitors section.
