@freemo You're hired!! 😂 Design one for us 😀 This does make sense though, our underwater cameras are filled with mineral oil 🎥

@freemo This sounds amazing! We're sure it's doable, something we would love to explore in the future!

@freemo Yes! We'll remember to share the link with you 😀 🐟 🐡 🐠

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 🎥

Ocean data and technology often remains inaccessible and cost-prohibitive, limiting access to well-funded researchers. At AusOcean, we're changing this.

#opensource #data #technology

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 #plastisphere refers to the unique and diverse collection of marine #microbes that colonise marine #plastic. These include bacteria, fungi, plankton and also viruses, which are very topical at the moment due to Covid-19.

In different parts of the world, harmful microbes such as pathogens were found to have “hitch hiked rides” on marine plastic. If this happens in South Australian waters, remains an unknown.

@mur2501 @freemo We like the sound of this! 🐱 🐙

South Australia is home to the worlds only known giant cuttlefish aggregation. Or, as we like to call it - Natures biggest orgy 💙

@lucifargundam Agreed!!

We often wonder what the world would be like if more science, data & technology were made open-source 🤔
