Marlin Takes the Lead!!!

After two days of tracking, we have seen a huge increase in the amount of fish out of their home sites. For this reason, the map is now color coded. Some fish were in the same areas so some circles represent more than one fish. You can click on the map for a larger view, this will make locating your fish much easier. The current locations of the fish are as follows:

1. Red Star - Marlin (currently in the lead) from Central Abaco High
2. Blue - Fishie from Cherokee
3. Brown - Lucaya from CV Bethel
4-5. Black -
(a) Foxy from Fox Town Primary
(b) Biggie from Amy Roberts Primary
6-7. Yellow -
(a) Laura Lee from SC Bootle
(b) Stormy from CC Sweeting Senior High
8. Purple - Sly from Moore's Island All Age School
9-11. Red -
(a) Star from Central Abaco Primary
(b) Quick from Crossing Rocks Primary
(c) Miles from Man-O-War Primary
12-15. Pink -
(a) Sandy from Freeport Primary
(b) Diamond from JA Pinder Primary
(c) Max from Wesley College
(d) Jim Richard"s" from Forest Heights

Some fish seem to be enjoying the comforts of home and are still in their home sites, while others have moved back into their home sites. Home sites are the marked by the yellow circles on the map and are the areas where the fish were released after the tagging. Home site A is the lower one that is slightly to the right and home site B is higher and to the left. The fish still in home site A are:
Berry 9
Stanley Grayson
Bubbles

And the fish in home site B are:
Master Blaster (He went back)
Floppy (Also went back)
Trixie
Jerry
Tiny

Remember, many commercially and ecologically important species depend on mangroves as nursery areas for protection. Mangroves also help to stabilize shorelines and protect shorelines.

Congratulations Marlin and everyone keep cheering on your fish!

Thanks for giving an update on all the fish. It allows all the partipants to feel important even if their fish is in last place, at least it is mentioned. It's a breathe of fresh air to see that "Foxxy" has finally made a move in this race. Let's go Foxxy, SWIM! SWIM! SWIM!
