An entire team of NOAA scientists works to study the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary
Tuesday is our second full day aboard a boat in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. The goal of this trip is to learn as much as possible about research and conservation efforts tied to the phenomenal coral reef known as the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.
While our beaches and water off the coast of Southeast Texas may not look like what you’d find in California or Florida, our waters are just as vibrant - albeit you have to go a bit farther out. The Flower Garden Banks are one hundred miles offshore and are alive and full of color. They’re one of the healthiest reefs on the planet.
That discovery was made possible through the work of Marissa Nuttall, research coordinator of the Fish Movement program at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Her team installed monitors throughout the Garden and any tagged fish will show they’ve been here.
