Скачать или смотреть GTKGSO: BRUVs

Studying the deep sea often requires large, expensive equipment and dedicated research vessels—but #URIGSO Ph.D. student Christine de Silva is working to change that.

Enter the BRUV: a baited remote underwater video system designed to be smaller, more affordable, and untethered. 🦈 This innovative tool is making deep-sea shark research more accessible by allowing scientists to collect footage without the need for complex infrastructure.
Learn more about the technology being developed at #URIGSO in the MarEcoTec research group and meet the team working to transform deep-sea exploration! 🌊🦈

This project is a true collaboration across Rhode Island institutions:
