YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDropping a camera to the bottom of the ocean can be nerve wracking. There is always a risk that it will stay on the seafloor, but the risk is worth it for chance to see the sharks that hunt in darkness.
This non-invasive baited dropcam is being used for the first time ever in the Red Sea so scientists have an opportunity to analyze the natural behaviors of these deep sea sharks. After six hours, the camera is released and floats back up to the surface for collection.
Sharks and other highly migratory marine species are some of the most threatened species on our planet, due to decades of overfishing happening on a global scale. That's why Beneath The Waves, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to promoting ocean health, came aboard the OceanXplorer to better understand the survival risks facing species like sharks.
