Moorea: Round Two

Back again... and I couldn't be more excited! Yesterday, I was reunited with chocolate croissants, baguettes, brie, Rotui mango juice, and two of the sweetest dogs ever! Now, I am ready for what will be a busy, but awesome four weeks of field work!  The goal of my REU project is to quantify fish herbivory on various parts of the reef in the hopes that this data can be used to help relate coral cover and algal cover in those areas. Other than that, I'll be helping out with other experiments that will be running as a part of the Moorea Long-Term Ecological Research Project (M-LTER).
