Ken-Nedimyer-A.-prolifera3-300x208.jpg

A few months ago Ned and I spent a week hanging out with Denise and Ken Nedimyer, founders of the Coral Restoration Foundation, based in Key Largo (you can read a short article and watch the video we made in 2008 after a visit to their coral garden in the Florida Keys), Their coral surveying trip to Bonaire coincided with our annual stay at Buddy Dive, so for a few days our morning coffee discussions switched from fish to coral. Denise and Ken were keen to cover as much of the accessible shoreline as possible to look for Acropora cervicornis (Staghorn coral) and Acropora palmata (Elkhorn coral). Susan Porter (Bonaire Shore Diving Made Easy) volunteered to show us some known stands of the week’s target species at one of her favorite sites, a seldom visited area off Bonaire’s southern tip.
