Dropped between 4m and 30m of depth, including a partial reef view to enable for sizing. Special care is taken using SCUBA gear and lift bags to avoid live coral and to orient the BRUV facing down current. The BRUV is left for an hour while other activities such as survey or training dives, are conducted.
Before and after each deployment environmental variables are measured including water current speed, salinity, bottom depth, visibility, and water temperature. To record the data each video is viewed twice by trained interns so that every species recorded is present in the field of view is counted.
If you happen to see our BRUV whilst diving PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH IT, if possible try to swim past and BEHIND so that you do not come into view of the GoPro, thank you!
