Time for some snorkeling!

For the past week, we have been completing behavioral observations to determine the dominance status of each lobster. By knowing the dominance status of each lobster, we will be able to determine if dominance influences den sharing behavior in our mesocosm study.

Since we worked hard all week to prepare the mesocosm, we decided to take the afternoon off and snorkel Coral Gardens - a coral reef near Long Key. Enjoy the pictures (Left: sea turtle; Middle: cow fish; Right: brain coral)!
