Behind the scenes, LookBermuda has remained extremely busy throughout 2019 / 2020 with many of our projects either unannounced, running in stealth mode, or being promoted via other channels. This includes our ongoing Nonsuch Expeditions and signature CahowCam project, (which we managed to keep going despite COVID restrictions and complications), now entering its 9th season with over 40 million minutes of footage having been watched from around the World.
The recently announced Nonsuch Plastics Project, in partnership with KBB, with AXIS as the lead sponsor, is documenting and analyzing the 3.5 tons of ocean plastic that was collected from the small Nonsuch Island beach, with local students, for a documentary.
As Ambassadors for the Sargasso Sea Commission, our focus on documenting the Sargassum and the biodiversity that it contains when it reaches Bermuda and in the Sargasso Sea, continues, including a National Geographic Field Notes Blog and Sargasso themed light-box exhibit in the New Bermuda International Airport.
As part of our ongoing focus on developing and deploying technology to solve conservation challenges, we participated in the Seattle Oceans Conference in 2019 and exhibited at the Oceans Science Conference in San Diego in 2020, (including our ongoing Bermuda100 Project with UCSD and the DENR), where several scientific papers and posters which we co-authored were also presented (thankfully just prior to the COVID shutdowns).
We are now entering the 3rd year of an ongoing project with the Cornell Bio Acoustics Lab recording and studying the soundscape and acoustic signatures of the Bermuda reef platform with the end goal of developing tools to better protect it and global MPAs.
We have several other projects in the Ocean Technology / Exploration and MPA protection and enforcement spaces that will be announced in early 2021, if interested, please contact us for more information.
