Chris Dembinsky has been visiting the nearshore sites on a weekly basis and recording amazing evidence of ecological succession at these brand new reefs.
Juvenile Gray Triggerfish, i.e, < 8" in length were observed and near legal size Gray (Mangrove) Snapper were abundant.
Attached are images from the Flagler reef construction area.![](/Resources/Pictures/news/reef_update2.jpg)
The Triggerfish are perhaps grazing on the barnacle growth on the reef structures.
Thanks for the photos Chris.
