Dry Tortugas Webcam
Goliath Grouper Research Project

Dry Tortugas Cam: This cam is positioned in six feet of water on a concrete dock piling in the remote Dry Tortugas, Florida Keys. It was installed by the teens4oceans crew in June of 2009. We would like to THANK the many people from the National Park Service who have helped us with this project. A photo gallery of the equipment and installation process can be seen here.

We will be testing the underwater lights each evening from 8ish pm-10ish pm EST! We are sorry about the tardy "lights on", but our teachers give us SO much homework that we forget the time!

Please comment on the guestbook HERE!

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 have a PayPal account at last! 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!

 

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!

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.”
