Pompano Beach activates underwater camera
From David Volz
The City of Pompano Beach has announced that Wahoo Bay, the one-of-a-kind marine park in the Roy L. Rogers Family Park, has activated its underwater camera.
This innovative technology will allow visitors to experience vibrant marine life at the park in real time without the need for diving gear. Last year, the debut of the underwater camera below the Fisher Family Pier amassed a tremendous following online. Wahoo Bay’s camera is expected to attract an equal number of ocean life devotees, students, and scientists to its live streams!
“We are thrilled to offer this unique opportunity for our community to connect with the marine environment,” said Mayor Rex Hardin. “The underwater camera will provide a fascinating glimpse into the underwater world, fostering a deeper appreciation for our coastal ecosystem. This exciting feature aims to educate and inspire visitors of all ages about the rich biodiversity of our local waterways. Thanks to the generosity of Shipwreck Park, the camera they donated for the Pier has become a viral sensation, and we look forward to the Wahoo Bay feed attracting a massive audience as well.”
The underwater camera at Wahoo Bay is strategically positioned in between the SEAHIVES to capture stunning views of fish, sea turtles, and other aquatic creatures. A novel invention, SEAHIVE units are a marine and estuarine shoreline protection system.
