OCTOBER 25, 2018    A SWIRL OF SILVERSIDES

Silversides swim through the mangroves of Cuba’s Gardens of the Queen marine reserve, like a river in the sea. The dense forest of roots offers welcome shelter for the finger-size fish, which form large schools to try to confuse predators. Mangroves enhance reefs by providing a nursery area for vulnerable creatures and by trapping sediment that can smother coral. They also store carbon that might otherwise contribute to global warming.
