sea turtle caught on camera while filming our plates for fish interactions |
As the librarian for the Miller Library at Hopkins Marine Station, I was offered the opportunity to help with a research project on the Palmyra Atoll. This is a ring of islands surrounding a lagoon located about 1,000 miles south of Hawaii, just north of the equator. There are less than 5 square miles of land, and the highest elevation is 6 feet. It averages about 175 inches of rain a year, and there is no rainy season.

We added a twist to our dives today
In addition to pulling more settlement tiles today, we starting filming fish interacting with the caged and uncaged tiles. To do this we set up a "GoPro on a stick" to record for about an hour while we went off to collect tiles. You never know what is going to come by while you are filming. Below is a screen capture of a sea turtle that swam by. You can see the caged and uncaged tiles below it.
