Sharing Underwater Habitats since September 2023

Our mission is to share
We love the kelp beds off San Diego and want to share it with more people and hope they learn to love it as much as we do. We are collecting time-lapse images and data and will update it every month.
Welcome. Enjoy watching and learning with us!
We expected a strong El Nino event in late 2023. So, we set up four study sites. We wanted to see what would happen. Well, at least locally, (thank goodness) it didn’t damage the kelp beds. Now that we have started, we plan to just keep going and maybe even expanding…
Cutting-Edge Technology
Utilizing time-lapse cameras, oxygen and temperature loggers and introducing new sensors as we expand.
Unravel Ecosystem Mysteries
With the unprecedented long term literally watching. We will be able to see trends and interactions.
I new way of seeing things
This is pretty much raw data. We encourage anyone to observe and share.
