Welcome to the Marine Futures Lab Bluesky page! We are a marine ecology lab using Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS) to study marine wildlife, gathering data on diversity, distribution, abundance, size and behaviour. Follow us for updates on our research!🎥🐟
A Baited Remote Underwater Video System (BRUVS) deployed on the seabed, its bait arm extended, surrounded by seagrass and marine life, used to attract and study underwater ecosystems.
