Ok friends, lend your ears & eyes for a new & wonderful 6 minute video diving with Goliath Grouper off W. Palm Beach, Florida! This was an epic event!
Video: Goliath Grouper - Treasure in Florida Waters - YouTube
It was night, under the full moon. The shipwreck site was deep, dark and in strong current.
The Mission: try to photo/video document spawning habits of resident Goliath Grouper, an endangered species, to add support to Dr Sarah Frias-Torres' campaign in convincing The Florida WildLife Commission NOT to allow sport fishing to once again decimate the population of this amazing species already fighting to recover from near extinction. We knew the Goliath had gathered for Spawning Season...

Please help this video (hopefully) go VIRAL in support of the cause to continue conservation of these amazing colossal fish. Spread the word, lend your voices to the cause, protect an endangered species. Contact info to participate is at the end of the video. I rarely jump on a crusade, this one is worthy.
But mostly ..Enjoy the video!
The Goliath Grouper are struggling to recover from near-extinction by over-fishing. Even after a 22 yr moratorium the population is minimal due to long life span & late maturity age to reproduce. Your voice is needed to convince the Florida Wildlife Commission to continue the ban and NOT ALLOW the Fishing Faction to have an open season on these creatures.
Please forward this video link to everyone you know, diver or not, to encourage conservation. Once they are gone it is FOREVER. To participate contact Dr Sarah Frias-Torres; sfriastorres@gmail.com
