Belize Expedition 2012
In this post we shared pictures of some reef babies that we know and love. Here is a glimpse of what they might grow up to look like:
A tiny coral can grow to be a huge colony that provides habitat for fishes.

Though some fish grow to be huge, some small fish stay relatively small
in size, but large in importance—like these planktivores that help to
keep tropical waters clear and healthy.

We've been busy in the field but stay tuned, there's lots more to come from Carrie Bow Caye!
