In the summer of 1993, the first REEF fish surveys were conducted by a group of pioneering volunteers. Twenty years later, the Volunteer Survey Project and other REEF initiatives are leading the way as innovative and effective marine conservation programs. To celebrate, we are hosting 4 days of diving, learning, and parties this August in Key Largo, Florida. We hope you will join us!
