Developing an Underwater Game Camera*

The goal of this project was to create an underwater game camera that could track and observe fish and other aquatic creatures in their natural habitat. Such a device would be able to monitor the behavior of wildlife over a period of several days without them being disturbed by the presence of divers. A variety of electronic components are need to create a reliable game camera and we have investigated a number of possible choices. Our final design is rugged, inexpensive and can take several high quality pictures a minute. Our poster will describe the details of this design and our plans to deploy this game camera.
