By joining the Saba bank cruise, we aim to find out if the reefs of this gigantic submerged atoll are shifting towards net erosion instead of net growth. Using the ReefBudget method, we record calcifying and bioeroding species along fixe transects while diving.
Three days into the cruise, we have already dived 7 sites and recorded data along 21 transects. Each site very distinct from the other. Some reefs present high densities of bioeroding sponges while others harbour healthy coral populations. Many sites still await us and we look forward to analysing our data and determining the state of Saba Bank coral reefs.

Nou, ik ben klaar met mijn verhaal; ik hoop dat jullie het leuk vinden. Morgen is er iemand anders aan de beurt, ik denk jouw moeder, Roose. Je vous souhaite à tous et à toute une merveilleuse lecture. La vie à bord nous sourit et nous mangeons comme des rois.
Bon vent!
