KML Site - Cheeca Rock - April Thomas

 



The Cheeca Rock site location had a lot of fish diversity compared to the locations done prior. Compared to the other sites, this one was deeper so allowed for more coral formations as opposed to mostly seagrasses in shallower locations. This led to an increased variety in fish, corals, and invertebrates that have more room to take up for habitation. Visibility and wave conditions weren't rough and were perfect for seeing the reef,  Fish species found at Cheeca Rock included different species of parrotfish, angelfish, barracudas, and a nurse shark.
