Vessel Support / Boat Rental Projects with NOAA Fisheries
Simply Caught Charters has just completed several Projects with NOAA doing research projects around the coral reefs of Puerto Rico. During the month of July our boat rental business was hired to assist National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admisnstration with a coral reef assessment project. Throughout the 7 days we scuba dove numerous sample sites from 7 different regions and surveyed for fish and coral diversity, age, and health. This was an assessment done under the NCRMP initiative.
Our Puerto Rico charter business was back out in Sept. to help with a Queen Conch assessment project. During this time our vessel was hired to navigate to numerous dive sites around the coral reefs of Puerto Rico. The divers then took DNA samples of juveniles and grown adult Conch to better understand how the species was breading and repopulating around the Caribbean.
Simply Caught Charters would like to thank all the scientist involved with the two projects. Till next time….
If your private or public business is interested in hiring a Captain for your next project in Puerto Rico we would love to assist. Simply Caught Charters LLC. specializes in professional and personalized scientific research vessel support anywhere on the island of Puerto Rico. Our 23 foot Charter boat is ideal to trailer to the smallest of boat ramps and can navigate any reef you put in front of us :) Please call Captain Frank for more information and for a list of our references.
Gracia,
Capt. Frank
