August 1, 2025

Today, we are back in Florida, and but in a place we have never gone before. For the next 2 weeks, please enjoy this very special underwater tour with our amazing guest photographer, Megan Berg! 

I am a juvenile High-hat
So named for my first dorsal fin
As I get older,
My shape will be oval
Right now my fins are long and thin.

Location: Blue Heron Bridge, Phil Foster Park, Riviera Beach, FL
