By now, we have headed back to shallower waters to sample a few sites in the Dry Tortugas on our last full day. This research cruise has been a unique experience in my academic life so far, and I already crave more. We have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time and are coming back with:
61 Montastraea cavernosa
73 Agaricia sp.
87 Stegastes partitus
13 other fish
74 Xestospongia muta
55 Halimeda
