PI Jenn Caselle just returned from a National Geographic Pristine Seas expedition to remote Niue island and Beveridge reef.  Niue is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) northeast of New Zealand, and east of Tonga, south of Samoa and west of the Cook Islands. Its land area is 260 square kilometres and its population, predominantly Polynesian, is around 1,190. They commonly refer to the island as "The Rock", a reference to the traditional name "Rock of Polynesia".  Check out the Nat Geo blog for updates from this expedition.
