2024 is winding down, and if you have any REEF surveys that you haven't yet entered, now is a great time to get them submitted so you can start off 2025 with a fresh "slate!" The marine life information collected by REEF volunteers is used by scientists and researchers to learn more about our oceans and how to best protect them. Each survey you conduct as a citizen scientist can help make a difference, but these data must be submitted to the REEF database. If you happen to have surveys from prior to this year, you'll be glad to know that REEF surveys never expire, so it is never too late to submit your survey data, no matter how old your surveys may be. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the Volunteer Fish Survey Project this year, and we look forward to seeing more surveys from you in the future!
