Webcam Improvement Project
In October 2023, we embarked on a fundraising project to replace the webcam in Horseshoe Cove on the Bodega Marine Reserve with a live-streaming, high-definition model, installed on a high quality tower. The support for this project was so overwhelming that we were even able to raise additional funds to add a second webcam to the roof of the laboratory, overlooking the open ocean. We couldn’t be more grateful to the community of supporters who have made this project possible.
