US university team studying Island caves

Mini organisms meet modern technology as their underwater worlds get broadcast from below Bermuda's hills around the world this week.

The interactive programme is a partnership between the Bermuda Department of Conservation, Crystal Caves, the US Cambrian Foundation and Interactive Expeditions (Intx) — which will provide the technical equipment and expertise.

The Cambrian Foundation, which surveys and maps underwater cave systems, documenting new cave species, and monitoring water quality in endangered subterranean systems as well as teaching students about it.

Now students around the world will be able to ask divers questions and direct them through the caves of Bermuda as they learn about the unique environment...[The Royal Gazette]
