Celebrating 10k raised!!
We've just raised funds to deploy a live streaming camera at one of our favourite dive sites Rapid Bay which is home to the elusive leafy seadragon!
We cant wait to get this camera down and share it with you all 🎥
The AusOcean "rig" is a low-cost sea surface platform for supporting ocean science in coastal waters. Despite their relatively small size, rigs have been successfully deployed in South Australian coastal waters for many months at a time, proving to be very reliable against harsh oceanic conditions.

We are the Australian Ocean Lab (AusOcean), a not-for-profit organisation with the mission of helping our oceans through technology.
By leveraging low-cost, open-source technology we aim to engage scholastic programs, nonprofit organisations and community groups who often have limited access to ocean data and technology. Improving global understanding of our oceans and their value will rely on innovation that improves accessibility, lowers costs, and removes barriers between groups of users 🌎
At AusOcean everything we do is open.
