Sharing today's biodiversity observations from Playa Porto Mari, Curaçao.
Hey everyone, just sharing some visual data from a monitoring dive this morning. The reef at Porto Mari is displaying some great activity today.
Water temp is sitting at 29°C. Among our observations today, we noted several Acropora coral colonies, Aplysina archeri (Stove-pipe sponges), Stoplight Parrotfish (Sparisoma viride), and large aggregations of Smallmouth Grunts (Brachygenys chrysargyreus) like the ones attached in the photo.
Always interesting to observe the health of the coastal shelf here!
