This was yet another Venture to Horn Island by the USDA to seek out Cacto Blastus, the invasive Cactus Moth. Their work to eradicate this creature must be working as none were found on this trip. The Conditions were cold with lows around 25° and the water temp at 41°. Also at work were BP Oil Cleanup Crews scouring the sand for Tar Balls.
