Photographer shooting in Stetson Bank in the Gulf of Mexico
Stetson Bank is located 48 km northwest of the Flower Gardens. It was added to the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) in October 1996. The sanctuary serves as a biological reservoir of Caribbean species in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Temperatures at Stetson Bank are a few degrees cooler in winter than in the Flower Gardens. The bank supports an extraordinary fish community. Recreational scuba diving and fishing are common activities within the sanctuary. Some parts of the sanctuary are grandfathered in for oil and gas production.
