What a wonderful surprise, the massive rains and rough seas affected virtually nothing of the area we went to catch a few peppermint shrimps, snails and general clean up crew. The boxer shrimp were mostly decimated by the low salinity due to their foods being wiped but by this and of course any sps of any quality is dead in large numbers as well.
Over all we found that there was substantial life making it past these recent events.

Some areas haven’t completely recovered yet,a bit of cyano around.
