Cleaning

Team of Jules Craynock and Jim Hendee cleaned the station lines and equipment of biofouling. No extensive bleaching, but some isolated spots on Siderastrea and a species of brain coral (pictures were taken). At nearby North Norman's Patch Reef, there was some bleaching on isolated sections of a not-so-healthy thicket of Acroporis cervicornis (many dead areas from apparently last year).
