How two punk rocker best friends created the world's first urban reef webcam

Colin Foord and Jared McKay are childhood friends with a passion for coral life. They created Coral City Camera, the world’s first webcam streaming live from Miami’s urban reef.

Colin Foord and Jared McKay are childhood best friends with a passion for aquatic life. As a kid Colin developed a strong love of sea life and would construct his own aquariums. Later, when Jay was suffering from depression, Colin would send him equipment needed to build his own reef aquarium in his living room. Eventually they became partners in a coral business, growing home grown corals in their living rooms. Their love of coral life led them to create bespoke films, music and artwork, an eventually install Coral City Camera, a webcam streaming live from an urban coral reef in Miami which since lockdown has attracted thousands of dedicated daily viewers.

Fereshteh Khosroujerdy has always loved singing. She grew up in Iran and her parents were opposed to women singing in public. But she could never resist and would sing wherever she went, entertaining people with her voice. Fereshteh is now a professional singer and performs with Inner Vision, the UK's only blind ensemble.
