Good stuff there. I had heard about this a while back and had forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me of it and providing a link to more info about it. BTW Forrest is a masculine name and a forest is a group of trees.

very cool. Just when we think we've found everything, the ocean always has something new to show us.
It seems fresh water biologists discover new species in the Amazon River all the time.

That's pretty cool right there. I sure hope the salvage loggers don't find out where this site is before they can get it protected, no telling what all the scientist can learn from this site.
I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
