In 1993, a group of pioneering conservationists took a slate on a dive in Key Largo, and started a program that would become the largest marine life sightings database in the world. Twenty-fice years later, REEF's Volunteer Fish Survey Project (VFSP) is a valuable tool for studying the oceans. The project provides insight into the health and biodiversity of our oceans, and is a key way that REEF members can make a difference in today's ever changing marine environment. REEF Co-Founder, Paul Humann and Director of Special Projects, Lad Akins, will discuss the past, present, and future of the VFSP by sharing a quarter-century's worth of engaging stories and photos.
REEF Fish and Friends is a free, monthly seminar series that features engaging, ocean-themed presentations from guest speakers. Snorkelers, divers, and marine life enthusiasts are invited to join informal discussions and mingle with members of our friendly, ocean-minded community. Complimentary appetizers and refreshments are provided.
