Remus Sharkcam Case Study

To whom it may concern at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute: As we were able to learn more about the REMUS SharkCam, I would like to compliment the hard work of the scientists to acquire the data on sharks. Many people usually depict sharks as dangerous marine animals but with the footage it was seen that they are only living their lives responding with what their natural instinct tells them as any other animal, including us. It was amazing to learn the sixth and seventh sense sharks have and how they are able to smell a drop of blood from far away. In addition, I was able to learn that the eyes of the sharks have rods that measure brightness but not cones that distinguish color. The REMUS SharkCam is also a very important step into monitoring sharks and other marine creatures in the future as it will allow us to learn their way of
In addition, it can determine the shark’s range, bearing, and depth as well as video recorded by only two cameras, reducing the amount of electricity being used. The Acoustic Doppler Cu tra Short Base line would help receive this data and therefore study it. With this data we can learn from them without having to cause interruptions when using the REMUS SharkCam. Although I have confidence in my design and the minimal effects on sharks, some limitations are that no matter what is being done, it will have electrical impulses and cause vibrations due to the movements it needs to make. It would appear as any other animal since every living organism produces energy and the Ampullae of Lorenzini can sense that. It will also cause noise that may be heard by other marine creatures including the shark itself and the cameras may catch the shark’s eye by its shape. However, we can minimize these so it wouldn’t be as obstructive to the life of the marine
