  • Marine biologist Tanya Kamerman collects Coralliophila abbreviata (recently changed to C. galea) a type of snail that are an indigenous coral predator that have become a greater concern with the decline of coral populations. Currently they are working on finding what their key predators are so we can better protect coral reefs and help restore the balance of the ecosystem.

  • Marine biologist Tanya Kamerman monitors her ongoing project of growing corals (Acropora cervicornis) in an open-ocean coral nursery for future reef transplanting. As coral reefs decline worldwide scientists are looking for the best ways to help save our reefs.

  • Marine biologist Agnessa Lundy with The Bahamas National Trust assesses a coral reef in the Exuma Cays land and Sea Park. As coral reef health continues to decline worldwide scientists are trying to find the best ways to help reefs which includes areas like this park where no extraction is legal.

  • Marine Biologist Alannah Vellacott takes a moment to film an adult Nassau grouper while doing coral surveys. Marine parks, like this one in The Exuma Cays, give heavily fished species a chance to live out their lifecycle.
    Observation
  • A green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) happens upon a seagrass researcher with CORE sciences in The Bahamas. The goal of the research is to understand the effects of grazing on seagrass by animals like turtles, parrot fish, and manatees.

  • A marine biologist uses a tiny syringe to tag a seahorse for a population study.

  • Marine biologist Dr. Brooke Gintert with the University of Miami scans a coral reef in The Bahamas with dual DSLR cameras creating a detailed photomosaic which can be compared to the past and future helping scientists understand changes to our coral reefs.

  • Elkhorn corals (Acropora palmata) at night silhouetted by a scientists light during the annual coral spawn. Image made off Abaco, Bahamas.

  • Researchers Ian Bouyoucos and Cam Raguse test whether a lemon shark pup (Negaprion brevirostris) had been previously tagged at the Cape Eleuthera Insitute in The Bahamas. Lemon shark pups spend the first 5-8 years of their life in mangrove forests. The tangle of roots provides protection from predators like large sharks and is full of potential prey like juvenile fish and crabs. Lemon sharks are the first species of shark proven to practice natal philopatry where the mother will return to the same area she was born in to give birth. Mangroves are being lost at unsustainable rates thanks to coastal development.

  • Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) being given a helping hand by researchers from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). Seagrass disappeared from the area in the 1930's and with the seagrass went the scallop fishery, the largest in the USA at the time. Their re-imergence is considered a major conservation victory. Image made off Virginia, USA.

  • Marine biologist Dr. Heather Masonjones tags a seahorse, Hippocampus erectus, to study an alkaline pond's population. Through this method of injecting a non-toxic dye, that can only be seen under ultra-violet light, she proved that this pond in The Bahamas has the highest density of seahorses on Earth.

  • Marine Biologist Olivia Rhoades tends to her experiment on seagrass herbivory. An action camera records which animals are feeding on the seagrass and bite marks indicate frequency. Image made off Eleuthera, Bahamas.
