I am sure it would...I fly over it all the time, and can see it from about 1000 feet.....

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

By leaving areas completely fallow, as surface rock is harvested, the organisms in the nearby fallow areas will quickly move to colonize the now free real estate.

Yeah Like crop / land rotation on a farm.

but it would be cool Richard to see a photo or two of some bit that has not been touched for a while and see what it has.

the whole site? Yah that would take a long time and a lot of photos....

but a nice 2 or 3 pics might be cool.

Get your scuba gear, underwater camera, and lets go!

Need pics of the 10 foot jewfish, right before he swallows you!

Hmmm.... would it be bad to ask for a hint at where to look ??

I have a six mile figure from your web site, but from the mouth of the river that covers a lot of area.

36 sq miles..

If I had the gear you would already know it Richard!

I would LOVE to learn to dive etc... just a few small things like the time and the money

I already have a couple of ID books for the Gulf area.... Paul Hunan/Human something like that....

what would it cost to get the basic cert's and gear??

Don't even think of leaving town Sept. 3rd Richard, we're leaving a whole 1 1/2 days early just so I can go out with you, and I told Karla she can carry all the heavy buckets while I take pictures :lol:
