Although this observation also falls within the boundaries of the MarineGEO iNaturalist umbrella project (which is an ongoing collaborative work between MarineGEO and the Tennenbaum Marine Observatories Network, the Florida Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History Museum, and our network partners), this is not from a MarineGEO specific campaign.
