Re: More swimming Sea Hares in Florida

From: Michele Harrison
Concerning message #23554:
I am sitting on my boat, the FantaSea at South Seas Resort on Captiva, and these little creatures are swimming all over. I saw them here for the first time last year but seems they are in abundance this year. Sea Hare, Ink Fish, whatever they their names, are graceful and delightful little swimmers, surfacing with every breast stroke. Between these little guys, the manatee, and dolphin, I cannot imagine a more perfect place to be but here on Captiva! The sun is just setting and the breeze is slightly cool.
Locality: Captiva, Surface swimmers, Florida, Gulf of Mexico, May 1, 2010, Harbor. Length: 5 - 10"

Best wishes,
