The UK is to become the first country to pioneer a major network of underwater camera rigs, funding the world’s largest ocean wildlife monitoring system to help protect life below water. The network is being set up as part of the UK Government Blue Belt programme – which covers more than 4 million square kilometres of ocean. The camera systems – known as BRUVS – will allow the UK’s Overseas Territories to observe and manage ocean wildlife in their diverse ecosystems.
