Good morning all, Hurricane Matthew passed by last night with almost no activity here in Curacao?? At 5:00am it was hitting Aruba and the tail was hitting Bonaire but so far we are good other than rough seas and overcast skies and very little rain. I have a macro shot of the beautiful root-beer colored polyps on an Endangered elkhorn coral that I shot right out in front of the Substation. We have only one live elkhorn on our small reef, it sits clinging to side of a boulder at around 25-30 feet and I see it overtime I head out for a dive with the submersible. by Barry Brown | Aug 14, 2016 | Contest, Corals, Reef, Science

Good morning friends, I’m back in Curacao after a week of dining like a King and driving around Miami, it was fun while it lasted. I must say I was surprised to find so many Spanish speaking folks in Miami, at one point when I was at Walmart I thought I was back in Mexico and really felt out of place, kind of like I do here in Curacao. I can now that we are all going to have to learn Spanish if we are to exist in the States any more, I had a hard time just ordering a coffee and food at Dunkin Donuts. I have an old colony of rare, endangered Staghorn coral for you today that has new growth popping out over the old colony. What I find interesting about this is, I thought it was all dead because the last time I saw this colony it looked brown and black and was all covered in moss, amazing how it found a way to hold on and now has all this new growth. by Barry Brown | Jul 27, 2016 | Contest, Corals, Reef, Science
