[Apologies for cross-postings]Dear Ecolog,if you are planning to SCUBA dive in
Florida between August and early November, you might encounter a goliath
grouper spawning aggregation.This is an amazing diving experience, and a rare
opportunity, as Florida is the only place in the tropical western Atlantic
where we can dive and find these enormous groupers on their honeymoon.I can
send a list of dive shops from which you can dive the few aggregation sites
surviving today, if you need some guidance.After diving, you can help in an
important research project by answering a diver survey here (multiple dives are
welcome):https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DiveGoliathThank you
