Exploring the island by land and sea
We have been regularly running transects for the mpa study, and have had less problems since we’ve upgraded our ROVs to the 2.7 models.
We took some of out new members on a hike around Santa Rosa Island, and showed off some of the interesting relics that were left behind by the ranchers that settled on the islands.
We have had a lot of issues with our navigation a modules, so we have resorted to using a manual compass within the view of the camera, and, and relying on our gopro footage for fish counts.
