August 18th Day 57


Today went out to the dock with the idea that we were going to take plot pictures at the rapid sites. However the conditions weren't good so we decided to once again do something else than photography. Tom and I went to insert additional tiles to a few of the algal settlement plots to examine what the next year of settlement will look like. With the help of Andy and Brett we got this done before lunch and were able to head back to Gump. After lunch, Tom and I did some work along the anemone transect which allowed me to work on the cages to determine bites and coral mortality. I was glad that Tom and I took full sized tanks because we used up a lot more air than I expected. After I finished with the anemone transect and Tom finished with his deep shrimp goby photography, we came back in and that was pretty much my work day. For dinner tonight we had fish tacos with mango salsa which was really good. After I did some work and then it was time for bed. Until later.
