The Grouper Moon Project is a collaboration between REEF and the Cayman Islands Department of the Environment. REEF extends a huge thanks to the CIDOE staff for their tireless efforts, including Phil Bush, Croy McCoy, Kirsten Luke, and Bradley Johnson. The Grouper Moon Project has continued through the year empowered by the first year’s success and the passion of project leader Leslie Whaylen.
REEF volunteer project team members have included: Mark Boardman, Denise Mizell, Paul Masaki, Judie Clee, Doug Harder, Ed Steiner, Franklin Neal, Alex Score and Brenda Hitt.
Generous logistical support has been provided by Peter Hillenbrand, as well as by local dive operators the Southern Cross Club, Sam McCoy’s Diving Lodge, the Little Cayman Beach Resort and Pirate's Point Resort. Funding for the acoustic work was provided by the NOAA International Coral Reef Conservation Program, PADI Project AWARE, J. Edward Mahoney Foundation. Raymarine Marine Electronics donated RADAR equipment to assist the CIDOE in their enforcement efforts. Additional funding has been provided by Ken Sinibaldi and Clive and Stella Wood.
