Hello Grouper Educators,
Here is a film we made about 7 years ago (hard to believe it was that long ago!) highlighting the Nassau Grouper’s typical behavior on it’s home reef. Dr. Semmens takes the students to a dive site called “Uncle Lucky’s” on Little Cayman where he encounters a number of Nassau and many other species of marine life. I recommend showing the film to your students before our live video feeds next week as it will give them a good comparison to the behaviors they will be seeing on the spawning aggregation sight.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Cheers!
Todd
