Lots of turtles - Ben did (unauthorized) engagement close up to turtles in the middle - these images will have to be removed fom transect (sorry). ~40% of coral death, and ~20% of coral bleaching, much less than some other sites. Notably deep spur and groove formations in this very exposed site (facing to the north). Low macroalgae and high number of grazing fishes and high numbers of urchins. Herbivores perhaps keeping the bleaching related death in check? Poci and Montiporra were most affected. |
