After you select a video clip from the choices provided, double-clicking the video screen will bring you to the YouTube website, which will allow you to view a larger version of the video. It will also allow you to view a lower-resolution version of the video, in case the video loads too slowly on this page.
Archival copies of the video record are being stored to allow future researchers to directly compare their studies to the time series being created by CDFW. In addition, the data extracted from the video record will be made available to scientists and resource managers to help future researchers understand and manage California's marine resources.
