Photo Contest Winner Announced
Congratulations to Jason Spitz from Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, who is this month's winner of the E-Current Photo Contest. Jason's outstanding image shows two banded coral shrimp sharing the shelter of a barrel sponge in Roatan, Honduras-one of CORAL's project sites. These crustaceans, known as cleaner shrimp, help keep other reef species healthy by removing parasites and injured tissue.
