As of today, peak season now, through ~July 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Cubera snapper (Lutjanus cyanopterus) form seasonal spawning aggregations at predictable reef channels and dropoffs around Turneffe Atoll, Belize.
Aggregations are triggered by lunar and tidal cycles and concentrate hundreds to thousands of large adults on steep reef slopes at night, creating a high-value opportunity for divers and researchers.
