We had a great few days of research for the marine team. We were visited by Dr. David Obura of CORDIO who helped us set up some permanent coral monitoring transects. Benjo will be working on this as a part of his Ph.D. project. Was great to have my son along (Bobby age 12) surveying angelfish abundance and diversity.

We tested the new camera. Thanks to Matt Brandon who test drove one when we were together in Sabah a few months ago and highly recommended it for our project. I’ve included a few of the photos I (Bob) took yesterday. The visibility wasn’t great, hence the greenish tinge to the photos. Enjoy.
