Matt pointed out that I've been talking about places around Bimini but haven't added a map or anything. So, here's a map of Bimini courtesy of the lab table top which I took a picture of. The shark lab is located on South Bimini just to the left of the little cove on the south side. We do the majority of our work in the north sound, which is the teardrop shaped area at the tip of the two sides to north bimini. Bimini Bay Resort is currently clear-cutting the mangroves that line the western shore of the North Sound, causing serious habitat loss for the many species that rely on the north sound as nursery grounds. We go spear fishing mostly off the north or west coast of south bimini and set the longlines in the shallow banks a little ways off Bimini's eastern coast.
Thats about as much of a geography lesson that i've got in me at the moment. From now on, if i refer to some place you're unfamiliar with just check this map (it should enlarge if you click on it).
