REEF has been doing online and virtual programming since 2011 through our Fishinar program. Below you will find the schedule of our upcoming offerings. Unless stated, all of REEF's online programs are an hour (be sure to note your local time zone) and all sessions are recorded and archived. So what's the difference between Fishinars?
Fishinars
Fishie fun in the comfort of your own home. These short, free marine life identification webinars will help you know who is who underwater. Information is presented in a fun and accessible way, and Fishinars are open to divers, snorkelers, and devout landlubbers alike. Anyone wanting to know more about ocean life is welcome to join in. Great for first-time REEF surveyors, or those wanting a review. In addition to marine life identification sessions for all of REEF's project areas, we also feature guest speakers who present a variety of ocean topics.
