Invitation to Researchers at Little Cayman Research Center
just announced 15 Feb. 2006, and quoted in its entirety:
The Central Caribbean Marine Institute is proud to announce that Caribbean's newest field station, the Little Cayman Research Centre (LCRC) fringed by the world-renowned coral reefs of Bloody Bay Marine Park, is open to researchers. The Centre opened to students late last summer. Shallow lagoon, wall, and deep ocean (several thousand meters) habitats are all within swimming distance of the LCRC field station. The coral reefs of Little Cayman are among the best in the Caribbean for research due to the fact that they are isolated from continental and anthropogenic influences and water quality is excellent. In addition to diverse oceanographic settings over relatively short distances, Little Cayman has a well-established marine park system and one of the last spawning aggregations of the Nassau grouper. For more information on the research centre, please visit [1] Reef Research or contact me or our [2]manager@reefresearch.org to book a project (group or class).
Thanks,
