Описание: Let's dive into the world of queen conch on St. Eustatius with Dr. Kimani Kitson-Walters!

A marine ecologist at the Caribbean Netherlands Science Institute, Dr. Kitson-Walters, is making a splash with his research into the impact of an invasive seagrass on a critical point in the life cycle of a commercially threatened, giant sea snail- the queen conch!

Come along with us as we show the beautiful underwater world and culture of this giant sea snail on the tiny Dutch island of St. Eustatius.
