Descrição:

Description: This guy was photographed in about 20 feet in Folly Cove, Gloucester, Massachusetts also during a survey to monitor for invasive species. EPA studies the ecological effects of the spread of invasive (non-native) species to our oceans. Due to the large amount of boat traffic in our coastal waters, our near shore cove areas are at particular risk. The New England dive team takes inventory and monitors several locations for native and non-native species to track changes. Photo by Phil Colarusso, U.S. EPA. Date: 20 November 2011, 00:06.
