This year in particular, our team found it cathartic to take a moment to reflect back upon some of the positive moments, instants of humor, and accomplishments we shared together in 2020. We’ll be back in 2021 with more marine reserves data, stories, photos and videos to share. Until then be safe, be well and wishing you a Happy New Year!
