Hotspot text!

Gray's Reef is a marine oasis. On the surface, recreational anglers try for grouper, sea bass, and snapper, while a northern gannet flies overhead, and a NOAA weather buoy collects data. Beneath the waves, divers share the waters with a host of colorful tunicates, sponges, soft corals, and other residents of the live-bottom reef, like a loggerhead sea turtle, octopuses, nurse sharks, schools of spadefish, jellyfish, and North Atlantic right whales.

About the Poster

Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, located off the coast of Georgia. The reef's scattered rocky outcroppings and ledges provide home for an abundance of marine life, which form a dense carpet of living creatures called a "live bottom." This poster highlights the true beauty and importance of the waters surrounding Gray's Reef.
