As part of the Commonwealth Marine Economies Programme (CMEP) Cefas conducted
a demersal stereo-Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) survey of the western
side of the island from Soufriere Bay to the northern tip of St. Lucia. A
total of 87 1-hour long samples were successfully acquired to a maximum depth
of ~50 m during a two week survey in February 2019. Four camera frames were
used, each fitted with two Sony FDR-X3000 ActionCam cameras with a 7-degree
inward facing angle directed at the wire mesh bait bag. Stereo-BRUVs field of
views were calibrated using the SeaGIS calibration cube and the CAL software.
Calibration videos were acquired at the start and end of the survey. At each
station light and temperature were also recorded using a HOBO logger and these
raw files are also provided in the raw format and as .csv file.
For further details about the collection and analysis methods of these raw
videos see the publication: https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.3518
