Summary

Description
English: “An anchialine pond named Skippy’s Pond at the ‘Ahihi-Kina’u Natural Area Reserve on South Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. Anchialine habitats consist of coastal, but landlocked ponds, pools, and caves with subterranean connections to both freshwaters and seawater. On Maui and Hawaii some anchialine habitats such as Skippy’s Pond are characterized by an endemic orange bacterial/cyanobacterial crust community. The striking fluorescent orange of the pond stands out against the stark black lava fields where these habitats are found. Researchers pictured here are collecting samples of the crust and shrimp that graze on the crust to determine the crust’s community composition and explore ecological interactions with animals in the anchialine ecosystem”
