Marine Life Webcam from KAUST

This is the ideal webcam to view if you’re having trouble sleeping. After five minutes, or even less, of watching this marine life live feed, streamed by KAUST, your insomnia will be miraculously cured and you’ll find yourself falling into an almost hypnotic deep sleep. If the last thought that enters your mind before you doze off completely is a question such as – do fish sleep – you’ll find the answer below so read it when you wake up.

KAUST, the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, is located on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia. The private university’s enormous campus covers almost forty square kilometres, part of which is the marine sanctuary where this underwater cam is located. The university offers educational opportunities on an endless list of subjects ranging from sustainable energy to computer science to engineering which includes courses that focus on research into water purification. 

That last course subject may well have left you a bit bamboozled after seeing what’s floating around in these murky waters. Whether the floaters you can see drifting around in these waters are a species of algae being researched for its pollution filtering capabilities, a natural occurrence or accumulated fish poop is anyone’s guess. Do fish sleep? Not really, but they’re not averse to taking forty winks now and again even if they have to do it with their eyes open.
