@freemo Awesome! We have a few projects on the go which might be of interest! Ill share the deets with you shortly 🌊🌊
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 💙
@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.

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.

@lucifargundam Agreed!!
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.
