Putting the feelers out for #software developers competent in #golang who would like to volunteer some time with us 🌊

We're passionate about #opensource development and leveraging technology to help our oceans 💙

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 🎥

We're developing South Australia's first live-streaming underwater camera using low-cost, open source camera hardware 🎥

We plan to deploy at Rapid Bay, one of South Australia's best dive sites, home to the leafy sea dragon!

This stream will be available for anyone in the world to access and explore for free 🐟 🐠 🐡

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.

The holy grail of underwater video technology is the development of software which can automatically identify species 🐠 🐟 🐡

This means creating software which performs accurate count, size, and species ID of fish and other marine species in real-time 🎥

Such applications will revolutionise the way marine science is conducted and drastically expand our data acquisition capabilities.
