Portail Atoll-two days (Nov. 11-12, 2013) were initially spent surveying reefs of Portail Atoll. We then returned on Nov. 23, 2013 (NCPO72-73; not shown on map) because the area was so large (and just so damn beautiful, as well).

Better-quality, edited photos of the reefs of Portail Atoll can be found here.

NCPO39 (Nov. 11, 2013)-These three photos were taken by Dr. Joao Monteiro (including the one of me repeated in the "banner" at the top of this page).
