The CTC Boat was tied to the outside of the float so I couldn't look on that side. I pulled the rope (27' is always under water) which has been in the water since June 16th and you can see the sheat tunicates forming along with some other organisms. Took a photo of the float showing how the sheath tunicate is taking over and will continue taking a photo each month. The bottom was a little too murky to see much on the bottom.
