Originally published in omaliprincipeen.weebly.com On Saturday, 9th of March we had the last BRUV sampling day of the project! Since April 2018, 260 hours of video have been recorded over 28 days of field work. We have already identified over 95 species in the cameras, including sharks and rays. For the next two months we will finish analysing all the videos to understand the distribution of fish species around the island, so as to identify priority areas for conservation and management. BRUV sampling will continue for the next years both in São Tomé and Principe!

Shark attack! Sometimes losing your equipment is completely worth it! We are currently analysing the videos of December's sampling round. BRUV surveys are being used in Principe Island as part of the project Omali Vida Nón to understand the spatial patterns of fish distribution and inform managers. |
