Join Reef Watch Waikiki for a REEF Fish Identification Class and snorkel survey. The class includes instruction on how to complete a REEF survey followed by basic coral reef ecology, fish biology, identification tips, and common characteristics of different fish families found in Hawaii. The class will be followed by an OPTIONAL snorkel survey immediately afterwards for those who would like to test what they’ve learned. The survey will last approximately 30-40 minutes and involve identifying, counting and recording reef fish observed in the Waikiki Marine Life Conservation District. Those wishing to participate in the survey should be strong swimmers and competent snorkelers. After the snorkel, we’ll gather briefly on the beach to identify any unknown fish and share sightings of cool marine critters.
Please bring your own snorkel gear (snorkel, mask and fins), dive slate, survey paper, towel, sunscrenn, water, camp chair or blanket, and rashguard or wetsuite.
We will bring extra slates, survey paper and fish identification books.
