Bamboo Shark images needed

HI All!

 

REEF is working with NOAA and the USGS on a field guide to non-native
species in Florida and we are having trouble finding good images for
the brownbanded bambooshark (Chiloscyllium punctatutum). 
These sharks are native to the Indo-Asian Pacific, but have been
sighted in SE Florida.  We are looking for both adult and juvenile
images as these lifestages look quite different.

 

Spotted Moray Eel feeding frenzy

Not so long ago on a night dive I followed a spotted Moray Eel hunting along the seafloor, the eel came at a stop not far from where a smaller spotted moray was hiding inside some wreckage pieces. The question raised of course was if a spotted moray eel would eat another moray eel and every time the bigger eel made an attempt to get in the smaller would block the entrance by opening it's mouth. I thought I would never get the answer as the divers I was guiding came to have a look at what was going on and disturbed the bigger eel.

Environmental Remediation Services

Hi friends. I am an engineering student. I have earlier done
research and made report on environmental hazardous waste services. Now I have
to make a report on environmental remediation. My exams are round the corner.
So I don’t have much time to do a thorough research. Can somebody please brief
me on this? I would be grateful.

I live near the ocean and fond a dead sea turtle. No tag. I have the Enviromental Learning Center, and the parks. Who should I notify?

Showing scientific names on database reports

Does anyone know how can I display the scientific names on the database reports? There used to be a toggle, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

 

Thank you
