CSA ichthyologist David B. Snyder has lately been sharing a “Fish Blog” with insightful and entertaining fish tales accompanied by dazzling underwater photographs captured during his prolific diving career and sojourns. This blog recognizes David’s contribution to the new book “Islands in the Sand: Ecology and Management of Nearshore Hardbottom Reefs of East Florida” in which David and his co-authors, Dr. Daniel A. McCarthy (Jacksonville University), Dr. Kenyon C. Lindeman (Florida Institute of Technology), and Dr. Karen G. Holloway-Adkins (East Coast Biologists Inc.), integrate their decades of knowledge and experience with more than 1250 technical references to capture the story of the distinctive nearshore hardbottom reef habitats of eastern Florida and the organisms that rely on them.
