Notes from the Field: Cuba has amazing mesophotic reefs!

6/12/2017

 
As Leg 2 winds down on the CIOERT Cuba expedition, we reflect back on the amazing reefs explored and characterized in conjunction with our Cuban collaborators. Details of our activities, including a summary of our findings on Cuba's north east coast, can be found in the Mission Logs on the NOAA Ocean Explorer page here. In addition to the vast information on benthic and fish communities in Cuba's meosphotic zone, Dr. Joshua Voss and PhD Candidate Michael Studivan have also collected 148 coral samples across both legs that will be used for future analyses of connectivity among coral populations from Cuba, Florida, Flower Garden Banks, and Belize. 

Check back on the Ocean Explorer page for more information and the mission summary as the expedition is concluded. Finally, this video put together by Michael Studivan highlights some of the spectacular reef species encountered on Cuba's mesophotic reefs.
