We’ve been packing for the last few days to make sure we are ready for our expedition to train Scientific Freedivers to collect critically important fish behavior data in the Portuguese speaking Island Nation of São Tomé and Principe off Central Africa 🇸🇹

Welcoming 2023 with a interplay of fluid dynamic between light and water

Dr. Claire Beatrix Paris and the Scientific Freediving crew University of Miami's Rosenstiel School Department of Ocean Sciences are collaborating with Professor Alexandra Teodósio in the Little Fish Project of São Tomé & Principe, a Portuguese-speaking African island nation near the equator.

We are excited to work with the local community to better understand their marine resources, particularly the goldfish, an endemic gobi that is of great importance to the local fishery.
As part of the project, we will be teaching the PADI Scientific Freediver course and we are in need of freediving equipment donations such as masks, snorkels and fins! 🙏🏼 email to [email protected] before January 3rd 🤿

The project is funded by the University of Algarve, Portugal 🐟 Alexandra Teodósio

Here I am laying down in my favorite space at Dean’s Blue Hole, a unique mesocosm of ocean and coral reef.
A mesocosm is a “bounded and partially enclosed outdoor experiment to bridge the gap between the laboratory and the real world in environmental science” —Odum

Congratulations to our collaborators on this extraordinary global analysis of larval fish movement behavior from the Paris Lab: we demonstrated for the first time that fish larvae from most, if not all species around the world are navigators!
