Excited for the start of #reeffutures2022 meeting old friends and new, listening to amazing presentations and representing both Roatan Marine Park and MPAConnect

Loved Juli Berwald presentation, bridging the gap between science and communication. #reeffutures2022

I will shift my focus over the next few weeks to Caribbean fishes because I have big things in the pipeline, so stay tuned! Anyhow, starting with this beautiful Blackcap Basslet (Gramma melacara) that I 📸 in Roatan at about 60m depth, it's very common at those depths!
