A Break For The Volunteers

The volunteers of the COTs removal programme are currently out for a well-deserved break and will return to their Raveniake base next week. They have done a commendable job in the past 2 weeks and gained much experience in removing COTs. Initial attempts at spotting these elusive COTs proved quite a task but practice and time now show the boys have mastered that skill. A useful technique worth learning is to first look for white scars (usually called COTs feeding scars) on coral. This is an indication of the definite presence of COTs in the area.
