REEF-in-Brief - August 2007

Greetings from steamy south Florida! We have been busy as rockmover wrasses here at REEF HQ: we finished up two major artificial reef monitoring projects, completed the 11th consecutive year of zone monitoring at the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, pulled off the 16th  successful Great Annual Fish Count and welcomed two new interns, Lauren and Erin, into the fabulous fun of fish watching.
