A student from the University of Plymouth is using her dissertation project to reveal some of the fascinating marine life living in the waters of Falmouth Harbour.
MSc Marine Conservation student Natasha Bamford is collaborating with the team managing the harbour to develop and deploy Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems units (BRUVS) on the harbour floor.
