Gena and Nans from the SCAPE team headed out to the Sims Municipal Recycling Facility to monitor biological buildup on the Fuzzy Rope installation off of the industrial barge mooring pier. The vertical net structures designed and implemented in 2013 are teeming with ecological growth- so much so that the nets are now too heavy to lift from the water.
During this session, a frame was developed for lowering a go-pro camera into the water to get an up-close look at the various underwater species that have established themselves on the fuzzy rope. Check out the link below to see some underwater footage from the monitoring.
