Hello everyone!

It was so awesome to talk with you all during today’s livestream.  You all had excellent questions.  Thank you so much!

During today’s livestream, we talked about the predators who show up on the aggregation site. We often see sharks swimming in and around the Nassau during the spawning.  Below is a photo of a grouper we named, “Lucky.” Clearly he’s had an encounter with a shark at some point in his life, but amazingly, he’s healed, and continues to show up each year to spawn!

We have seen him a number of times over the past 4-5 years.  Talk about a lucky (and incredibly tough) fish!

Hello Everyone!

It was so great to see you all on this morning’s livestream!  I hope you enjoyed it!

In preparation for tomorrow’s underwater livestream, I thought it would be good to test our FISH ID skills.  Can you identify any of the following marine species, commonly found on the reef here in the Cayman Islands? Post your answers in the comment section below!

Hello Everyone!

The Grouper Moon Project is in now running full-steam ahead.  Divers and researchers are out counting, measuring and photographing the Nassau 3 times a day!

Today I am sharing a picture of the Nassau Grouper’s different color phases.  Can you guess why they change color?  Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

Cheers!
