Global FinPrint Visits Oceans 5 Gili Air: A Two-Week Research and Workshop Program
Global FinPrint Visits Oceans 5 Gili Air In an exciting collaboration, Oceans 5 Gili Air is preparing to host the University of Mataram and Global FinPrint for a two-week intensive research and workshop program. This initiative will focus on the innovative use of Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS), a technology that has revolutionized marine science research, particularly in the study of sharks, rays, and other marine species inhabiting coral reefs. What is Global FinPrint? Launched in 2015, Global FinPrint is the first global survey of its kind, dedicated to understanding and protecting elasmobranch species such as sharks and rays. The project uses BRUVS to capture underwater footage, creating a comprehensive dataset that reveals patterns in marine biodiversity across the world. By recording species’ presence and behavior in coral reef environments, Global FinPrint provides invaluable insights into the health of marine ecosystems and the impacts of human activities such a...
