After hundreds of dives around the Caribbean \u2013 and decades of \u201cfish watching\u201d \u2013 I thought there was nothing left in that part of the world to knock my socks off.\u00a0 Boy, was I wrong!<\/p>\n

\"Tortuga<\/a>

I have heard for years about the wonders of the Jardines de la Reina \u2013 the Gardens of the Queen \u2013 in southeastern Cuba, and so was prepared for better-than-average diving during a recent week of exploring opportunities for scientific research in the recently declared national park.\u00a0 Our base was the floating hotel, \u201cTortuga,\u201d operated jointly by Cuba and the Italian company, Avalon.<\/p>\n

I was totally unprepared for the sheer spectacle created by massive Goliath groupers, swarms of huge groupers and snappers, carpets of other reef fishes, and by the parade of sharks on every dive.\u00a0 Diving with free-swimming Goliath groupers \u2013 behemoths sometimes nearly the size of Volkswagens \u2013 is a never to be forgotten experience.<\/p>\n

Sharks are the calling card for the Gardens to divers from around the world: silky, Caribbean reef, blacktips, lemons and nurse sharks, plus the diving \u201choly grail\u201d \u2013 whale sharks \u2013 the world\u2019s largest sharks.\u00a0 During our week, divers hailed from Lithuania, Latvia, the UK, Germany and the US.<\/p>\n

Whale sharks, in fact, create their own microcosms as they feed on zooplankton and herrings that are also eating the zooplankton attracting schools of small tuna called bonitos that in turn attract silky sharks and seabirds in a massive feeding orgy.\u00a0 Spotters find whale sharks by the birds picking up the leftovers.\u00a0 The week before we were there groups of divers saw whale sharks every day.\u00a0 Changing weather meant clearer water and better diving, but shifted the whale sharks away from our location \u2013 only one was sited our week, and not by us!<\/p>\n

\"Caribbean<\/a>

In addition to a variety of dives on different types of reef formations, we also spent many hours snorkeling. We examined every key habitat of the Gardens, from the nurseries formed by shallow-water mangroves and seagrass beds, to patch reefs and reef crests, and then to fore reefs and coral canyons and walls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each new habitat added to a list of fishes that by week\u2019s end numbered 124 species.\u00a0 Actually, we did no night diving or snorkeling, and so missed a whole element of fish diversity which hides under coral heads during the day.\u00a0 Also, I realized at the end of the trip that I had failed to notice many species because the large fishes distracted me.\u00a0 Cuban scientists\u00a0 in the Gardens suggested that many of the smaller fish we are used to seeing during the day in the more depleted reefs around the Caribbean are also there, but must spend more time hiding under the corals given the huge abundance of predators!\u00a0 Makes sense to me.<\/p>\n

\"Carpet<\/a>

The one \u201cdowner\u201d we encountered was the amazing prevalence of invasive Pacific red lionfishes, which we saw on nearly every dive and snorkel, regardless of depth, and regardless of habitat type.\u00a0 While the impact of these voracious predators armed with poisonous spines remains unknown, it cannot be good to have so many on the reefs and in the shallows.\u00a0 On one dive, I counted 22 lionfish and one of my colleagues counted 23.\u00a0 Apparently, many foreigners like to see them, unaware of the challenge to the reef \u2013 the bellwether for a future full of changing animal populations as oceans warm and acidify \u2013 that they may represent.<\/p>\n

All in all, our EDF team returned both awed at the beauty found in this remote location, but also energized by the potential for restoration of fish populations that a combination of proper management of marine parks and effective fisheries management represent.\u00a0 Given the fact that most of these reef species have life histories that reach all the way across the continental shelf, the third piece of the puzzle, of course, must be effective coastal zone management \u2013 more about that later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
