By the end of today, we’ll have sent the camera array down to 35 spots... I’ve personally gotten to see some of the camera footage, as well as help the scientific crew with their analysis of the fish we caught. Here’s a screen capture of some video taken yesterday from the Florida Middle Ground. The big fish on the left is a red grouper, the fellow poking his head up with the crazy eye is a spotted moray eel, and the yellow fish not far above him are reef butterfly fish. Note that “crazy eye” is not a scientific term." - Elizabeth Nyman
