Rocky Point Reef
Today was our first full day of data collection. After swimming across some very deep crystal blue water, we finally made it to the reef. It was worth the long swim! It was the most beautiful and diverse reef we have seen on the expedition. Our team was able to identify many of the corals and algae on the reef. Out teammates collecting data on the other side of the reef saw a 3 foot sting ray and a barracuda! Although barracudas are fairly harmless to humans, they are fierce hunters. What role does the barracuda play in the food chain?
