“Minion” our mini Mahé, the real OG atoll boat, is still proving useful for us to get into the atoll, even after getting a new boat that can carry more equipment and people. She still serves as our backup when we need to take extra people or gear, or when the other boats are not operating. Therefore, it is mandatory for all new staff to be trained on Minion and to feel comfortable operating her.

Marine litter and especially plastics nowadays affect all beaches worldwide. While we can stay on top of some of it - the DRC team cleans D'Arros' beaches weekly - it is impossible to stay on top of it in hard to reach places such as St Joseph. That means, unfortunately, the sound of plastic bottles crushing under the flipper strength of a green turtle or under our feet at night, is a common sound to our team.

This time of year, many frigatebirds roost in the trees around camp at St Joseph. On this bright full moon night, as the team prepared for bed after a turtle-tagging session, the frigatebirds were anything but asleep. Instead, they groomed themselves and filled the night with their calls, melodies that will forever remind us of sleeping at St Joseph.

Happy MANTAstic Monday!

Manta rays do not only undertake long distance horizontal movements but also exhibit substantial vertical movements. They display diel patterns in habitat use, feeding just off the reef slope during the day to deeper offshore waters at night, reaching depths of up to 500m.

When nature granted you with limited height, your colleagues become inventive. Case in point: testing how helpful they can be to help you see over the centre console while skipping.

FADs = Fish Aggregation Devices

Sometimes - luckily - they are easy to remove, so long as you make it a team effort.

Happy Monday!

Have you ever thought about looking into the fills of a manta? Perhaps not, but here is a glimpse for you anyways.

Reef mantas at the cleaning station at D'Arros open their gill slits and mouths during cleaning in order for the cleaner fish to give these areas a thorough inspection and tidy up.
