How do I get Geographic Zone Codes for newer artificial reefs in our area? My husband and I will be doing a number of surveys this summer on reefs deployed by the Mexico Beach Artifiical Reef Association. Since we are doing fish counts, I would also like to submit the surveys to Reef.org; however, these newer reefs do not have Geographic Zone Codes.

Geographic Zone Codes
The answer was in the recent Reef In-brief: "Just email janna@reef.org with the name of the site, lats/longs (preferably in degrees/decimal minutes form) and most likely 4 digit zone code area it falls in, and it will get created for you. After confirmation, you’ll be able to submit your survey."
