Pictures by Chris Koppl

Below is a picture of a lobster taking shelter under a rock. We see this guys occasionally, and they range in every size. I saw one that was 2+ feet once! He was enormous. I hope the fisherman do not find him!!
Below is the under-belly of a spotted eagle ray (aetobatus narinari) They are gorgeous, especially when they fly through the water. One thing I learned the other day is that they love to jump out of the water!!! I was hanging out at the dock one night and heard an enormous splash that sounded like someone belly-flopped! I asked my professor later on and he said "Oh yea, that was probably just an eagle ray..."
