Schools of horse-eye jacks containing hundreds of individuals sweep through the mid-water column above Labadie's reef wall in tight, synchronised formations that are a signature sight of healthy Caribbean reefs. They hunt cooperatively at dawn and dusk, corralling small reef fish against the wall face, and their abundance at Labadie reflects the site's relative freedom from gill-net fishing.
