The class is open to snorkelers and divers of all levels and ages. By the end of the training session you will be able to identify local marine fish, collect information on populations, and report it to REEF for species and abundance tracking. The information will then be used by the National Marine Sanctuary Program, National Marine Fisheries Service, and The Nature Conservancy, along with others.
For every 6 surveys completed, participants will earn a FREE dive trip on the Lois Ann (maximum of 5).
The next training session will be held on June 10th from 8-10 am at the Birch Aquarium. Coffee and refreshments will be provided, as well as an opportunity to explore the aquarium. REEF survey kits (recommended for surveyors) will be available to purchase for $25 (includes 1 year membership to San Diego Oceans Foundation).
