- Description: Hello from St. Thomas, where the weather is warm and the plankton are beautiful! Our small monitoring team at Coral World Ocean Park is led by Kristen Jetzke.
We tow weekly and are always excited to see what we can find. Our location is Coki Point, which is on the northeast side of St. Thomas (the Atlantic side). We would like to expand this into an educational program once we learn all the local species and get a better idea of the trends, but for now our interest is on the effect on our fish. Coral World has an open system which means all of our exhibits have a water supply coming directly from the ocean. Whatever is in the ocean is in our tanks with our fish, so it's interesting to see what's out there.
