SECORE update
August 23rd, 2008 | by jg3 |
It seems that things are going well for Mike and the team down in the Puerto Rico. The tropical storm largely missed them, just gave them some overcasty days. They are reporting 1.5 million coral babies and that the spawning and diving part of the trip is over for this year.
Check out the SECORE weblog for more information and photos and even a little quicktime movie of what spawning elkhorn look like. As an aside, I’d just like you to ponder what the egg collectors are doing: SCUBA diving is quite an adventure. Doing it at night you can lose spatial perception easily. Diving near coral, especially in the shallows, requires care that you don’t get scraped against the reef. Now, while doing all that, hold the camera still and take video. Nice.
Now that they’ve collected all this, the real fun work begins.
