Support our Program
with a PayPal donation!
You can donate using the button above or send a check to "teens4oceans" (attention: Trevor Mendelow), 4000 East Quincy Avenue, Englewood, CO 80113. With your generous donations (no matter how small) we will keep these cameras maintained and install more this year! Thank you!
In addition to lens cleaning and maintenance costs, we are raising funds for a new camera in the Virgin Islands, and would like to install one in Jupiter Inlet or another location in South-East Florida.
Please help us return our Virgin Islands Camera to service!
After our success in installing a new camera system at VIERS in the Virgin Islands, the instrument was destroyed by lightning four days after we left. We have spent countless hours trying to determine the extent of the damage, and we are very grateful to Jamie and Randy who have worked tirelessly at VIERS to help us complete our testing. The new camera will cost $2200 and we are asking for help in raising this money. Click here for images of the damage and please consider donating $5 through our PayPal system online. Together, we can get this back up and running and you will all enjoy fabulous viewing from the clear waters of Saint John.
We will use Facebook to send updates and information. If you do not not have a Facebook account or prefer email updates, contact Jack (jackr@teens4oceans.com) to be put on our mailing list.
Bahia Honda Camera: This cam is positioned in twenty feet of water on a concrete piling of a bridge in the Florida Keys. It is COMPLETELY powered by wind and sun. Click here to find out more. It was installed by the teens4oceans crew in December 2008, and was recently reinstalled by a group of 11 students at the end of June 2009. A photo gallery of the new equipment and installation process can be seen here.
The best time for viewing is often at slack tides. Click here for the tide tables for both camera locations.
