C-BASS: Revolutionizing Fish and Ocean Habitat Management

In this video from SciTech Now, see how scientists at the College of Marine Science at the University of South Florida are developing a new fish assessment project that may revolutionize the way we can study, manage, and conserve fish and ocean habitats. Known as C-BASS (Camera-Based Assessment Survey System), this new technique may prove to be a faster, more accurate, and environmentally friendly method of gathering valuable data.
