Do you know what those four hoops are?  They are the reproductive organs of the jellyfish.

These can be shaded in pink or blue as you like!

Lionfish are not endemic to Utila… So?

Lionfish are not endemic to Utila. They originated in the Pacific Ocean. So we are in a quandary. We spear Lionfish because experts say that they can eat up to 80% of the fish larvae in a section of reef in a matter of weeks! What do you think? Is that a good idea or bad? http://ow.ly/i/1LhmG

The elusive and endangered Pink Boa Cons

Say "Hello" to my leetle friend!

Say “Hello” to my leetle friend!

The elusive and endangered Pink Boa Constrictor of the Hog Islands (or better known as Cayos Cochinos). This photo taken on a little walk… http://ow.ly/i/1LfEh

Although you can’t see them scuba diving (which might not be a bad thing), you can see them when we take trips to the Hog Islands, a wonderful marine reserve.
