Bahia Honda Webcam
Goliath Grouper Research Project

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 or 2008, and was recently reinstalled by a group of 11 students at the end of June. A photo gallery of the new equipment and installation process can be seen here.

cool

We are coming to Florida! A crew from Colorado will be down in the Keys on the 18th of December to service the camera and install new lights. The camera will be down for one day during the time we are there.

We REALLY need your donations (ANY DONATION AMOUNT WOULD ADD UP!) to keep these cams running.

At school we talked about a fundraising campaign when our new website launches. more information will follow!

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.

We have a PayPal account at last! You can donate using the button below 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!

Check out the blog! Cool bumper stickers!

Also, we have a webcam on one of fish tanks at school. Click here to feel relaxed.

Please visit our blog and Please support our program by visiting our STORE/AUCTION! If you have an item that you can donate, please email teens4oceans@kentdenver.org with the subject line "auction item:your name", and include a photo description and a minimum bid!


We need images of the fish taken on our webcams for our fish guide and taxonomic family information database (see how to do this below). We have also uploaded some movie clips that may prove useful for this!
Save the files to your desktop and open with quicktime.

Also, we will be testing the underwater lights (on our Dry Tortugas cam) every evening from 8pm-10pm EST.

Thank you to Fanci Seafood Inc. (www.fanciseafood.com) on Cudjoe Key for supplying us with the bait!  Please support our program and we will try and clean the lens and bait more often. We almost have PayPal set up!

PLEASE help us with our fish guide by sending us snapshots (your best) of fish that YOU take with screen captures. We will post a list of individual species below the video feed once we are happy with the image that will be used. Please email them to teens4oceans@kentdenver.org and we will give recognition to the person who takes the best image. Please write "fish species: your name" in the subject line of your email.

Check the tide table for best viewing times!

The best time for viewing is often at slack tides. Click here for the tide tables for both camera locations.

PLEASE join our blog and help us develop a fish ID gallery with your own images from our camera. A list of species that may be seen at either Bahia Honda or the Dry Tortugas may be useful!

“We confront an ethical, environmental, and economic challenge that urgently requires our nation to realign its posture toward the sea. Changing our course requires understanding the problems, setting the objectives, applying the focused energy required to overcome inertia, and taking appropriate action in time to stem the impending disaster. Only a well-coordinated and innovative public effort will accomplish the work of educating people about the need to redress the imbalance in our oceans.”
