The HabCam is a custom built 3,400 pound, steel-framed “camera cage” that is towed behind the vessel as it moves to characterize underwater habitats. HabCam is towed and controlled from the ship by a winch with fiber-optic wire connected to the dry lab where all pictures are received and can be assessed real time.
