TAS Amy Orchard spotted this moon jelly (Aurelia aurita) while snorkeling in Dry Tortugas National Park with the crew of NOAA Ship Nancy Foster.

In the afternoon we got a special treat. We left the waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and ferried over to Fort Jefferson at the Dry Tortugas National Park for a tour and some snorkeling. Even though I have been able to travel out into the open ocean on the small boats each day, it was SO GOOD to actually get into the water and snorkel around. There were many jelly fish (mostly Moon Jellies) and we all got stung a lot, but the underwater scenery was well worth it.Read the blog post
