Every week during my two months at Wakatobi Dive Resort between August and October 2009 I wrote a blog for FiNS online. I was at the resort conducting fieldwork for my PhD on the biology of pygmy seahorses. The blog explains what I was up to each week so just follow the links below to each week’s write-up:
Week 1 – The weeks ahead
Week 2 – Great weather and great pygmy seahorse observations
