Pompano Beach has new underwater camera
From David Volz
A new high-tech underwater camera has opened a portal to the wonders below. This sophisticated high-resolution underwater webcam is anchored 15 feet below the Fisher Family Pier, beaming back live, high-definition video, offering a real-time window into a hidden world teeming with colorful fish and fascinating creatures. Shipwreck Park, a not-for-profit Pompano Beach corporation, donated this high-resolution underwater webcam to the City of Pompano Beach in recognition of the City’s support of the Wahoo Bay project, located at the Roy L. Rogers Family Park at the Hillsboro inlet.
“We are thrilled to showcase the beauty below Pompano Beach’s stunning ocean waters, thanks to this innovative technology,” said Mayor Rex Hardin. ”We are very proud of our relationship with Shipwreck Park and are grateful for the incredible work they do using art and technology to raise awareness of how to preserve our natural coral reef systems.”
