There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

A diverse school of herbivorous fish, including the parrotfish and unicornfish found to be important consumers of large seaweeds, graze on the shallow reef flat inside a marine reserve in Fiji. These shallow reef flats look fundamentally different when fishing is allowed. (Photo credit: David Gibbs)
