Thanks for your interest in Fish & Friends! We are pleased to welcome Jack Grove as our presenter for July. A marine biologist and professional naturalist, Jack Grove has spent much of the past four decades exploring marine environments. In several months, he will traverse the tropical Pacific for the 15th time! In this presentation, Jack will talk about ocean dynamics, fishes and marine biodiversity of the world’s largest ocean. He will also explain the differences between the “nesias” - Micro, Melan, Indo and Poly - all areas that he has spent much time exploring.

On the last Thursday of each month, underwater photographers and local naturalists Carlos and Allison Estape present a different informative and educational lesson about how to identify fish species found in the Florida Keys and throughout the Caribbean. Marine life enthusiasts of all levels are invited to attend. Class is free and open to the public. This month, Carlos and Allison will be discussing "Damselfish: The Gardeners of the Reef" and also sharing some fish photos from their recent trips to Bonaire and Veracruz, Mexico.
