Jacksonville, Florida Nov 6, 2010
November 6th, 2010 | Comments Off on Jacksonville, Florida Nov 6, 2010
It is around 10:30AM Saturday November 6, 2010. You are looking South West, across the St. Johns river at Jacksonville, Florida. It was a beautiful day. Jacksonville Florida is not a big city. About three quarters of a million people call Jacksonville home these days. Jacksonville is also home to the Jackdsonville Jaguars, our Professional Footbal Team. Jacksonville sits on the west bank of the St. Johns river, which is approximately 20 nautical miles from the jetties at Mayport, Florida where the Atlantic Ocean may be found. The shot of a crab was taken with a new lens. Some more shots facing south west towards jacksonville, Florida. This is a wide angle view. The building in the center was once known as Independent Life. Indenpendent Life went under after the hurricane that hit south Florida … Read entire article »

Costa Rica, Intentional Ignorance
October 27th, 2010 | Comments Off on Costa Rica, Intentional Ignorance
Costa Rica, you’ve heard of the country. Lush forests, zip lines which they attach you to a long line and you sail through the trees while attached to a long wire cable spanning a forest tree to a forest tree. You’ve seen the beautiful waters off their shores, the culture and the history. I lot of US dive shops put together trips to Costa Rica for the adventure and the diving. I have banned Costa Rica as a place for leisure travel and I do not recommend Costa Rica to anyone. Humans kill over 100 million sharks a year, and this is what they do it for fins for soup, bone for jewelry, souvenirs, belts and wallets, cartilage for cures, liver oil for cosmetics and much more. Costa Rica is well known … Read entire article »

REEF-in-Brief September 2010
October 1st, 2010 | Comments Off on REEF-in-Brief September 2010
REEF-in-Brief September 2010 Introduction By Paul Humann, REEF Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board Greetings! While fall used to be a slower time here at REEF, this year we are busier than ever. In addition to working with scientists to get them up-to-date species data and continuing to coordinate and expand the citizen science Fish Survey Project to new regions, the REEF staff is involved in a variety of marine conservation issues including the lionfish invasion in the Caribbean and associated waters and endangered species spawning aggregation research. This issue of REEF-in-Brief features updates from several of these programs. None of this critically important work would be possible without continued financial contributions from our members. We greatly appreciate your support and commitment to our efforts, and hope you enjoy this issue. If you are inspired … Read entire article »
