Tracking Fish in the Dry Tortugas. Our friends at Dry Tortugas National Park posted this update on their FB page today: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ship Nancy Foster is currently on a Research Cruise in the Dry Tortugas. Here is an animation of a mutton snapper tagged and tracked - note how the fish moves many times from one protected area in Dry Tortugas National Park to spawn in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Tortugas Ecological Reserve and then returns after spawning! Check out Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary FB page for more info on this tagging technology. Keep up the great work guys!
