Faculty, staff and students associated with the Moorea Coral Reef Long-term Ecological Research site mourn the loss of our dear friend, colleague and mentor, Dr. Ruth Gates, who passed away on Thursday, October 25th, 2018.  Ruth was a founding member of the MCR LTER site and her unbridled enthusiasm for all things related to coral reefs will be greatly missed by all.
