Say hello to the SkiMonkey! ⛷️🐵 A robust towed underwater camera system used for surveying benthic habitats & ecosystems. Anchor has been using this equipment to monitor recovery of deeper water benthic shelf systems offshore of South Africa and Namibia

We are lucky to work in such a special place. Some recent marine mammal encounters the Anchor team have had while out in the field. All part of the day job :)
