Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Subtidal video surveys are an equitable and accessible tool for research and teaching. After minimal training, these videos, conducted along underwater transects, can be analyzed by anyone, anywhere. These surveys have the potential to become an interactive teaching tool that introduces students to the scientific method in the context of subtidal ecosystems. Here, we document the methods for conducting video surveys and compare estimates of kelp density from in situ vs. video surveys. This work was conceived in the context of the DIMES (Diversifying and Integrating Marine Education at Stations) program funded by an NSF RCN-UBE Incubator award (2018116). Additional funding was provided by Stanford University’s Transforming Learning Accelerator.
