This year is unique in that it is what Grouper Moon researchers consider a ‘Split Moon.’ This means the full moon falls in the middle of the month. The Grouper Moon team didn’t see any spawning activity during the January full moon, so we are anticipating spawning activity in the days after the February full moon.
The Grouper Moon Team made their way back to Little Cayman today so stay tuned for more updates from in the field and to see what the February full moon brings.

What do you think? Will the Grouper Moon team see the Nassau grouper spawning this week? Post your predications in the comments.
No live stream in Feb?
We’re so glad that you enjoy the Livestreams! We didn’t plan any for this February unfortunately, but will try to share some videos from the project. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to ask away and we will get them answered. Thanks!
