Underwater remote webcam

Anyone know of a project that would allow an underwater webcam supporting livestreaming?

    Just looking for ideas really, I thought a webcam in our harbour would engage the community to take an interest in water quality etc. I'm not focused on that specific aspect though, I'm thinking generally of IoT applications in the community to boost interest in environmental aspects and build community.

    How about an autonomous boat filled with environmental sensors to which you could attach an underwater camera to ? I've seen a few drone boat projects floating around.

    You may not actually need a full 360 camera though as a 180 degree fisheye lens on the underside of a boat/buoy pointing downward may be sufficient for water quality observation. This would likely reduce the cost and the amount of data to be transmitted.
