Highlights from a research cruise on the “Sail La Vie” at 📍Escudo de Veraguas, Panama🇵🇦✨

An international team from @leraylab at @smithsonianpanama Rasher lab @virtual_doug at @bigelow_laboratory, Casey lab at @utaustintx, and Burkepile/Adam lab at @ucsantabarbara joined forces to study the feeding behavior of herbivorous fish on some of Panama’s healthiest coral reefs

This research wouldn’t have been possible without the permission and collaboration of cacique Willy Jiménez and @diego.21.96 of the comarca Ngäbe-Buglé and the support from @nsfgov.
