4️⃣ What did we find?

📏 We measured 389 flight distances.
👥 Groups ranged from 2 to 15 fish.
➡️ Average flight distance: 4.65 m

Group sizes didn’t differ much between protected and unprotected zones.

Fishwatching Challenge:

Observe how the mojarra shoal moves in coordination across the seagrass bed — individuals relay from the rear of the formation (where they forage), to the front (where they keep watch).

This foraging strategy is called shared vigilance.
