This month-long GAFC event is sponsored by CoCo View Resort and hosted by Allison & Carlos Estape. Every July, divers and snorkelers worldwide join to learn about marine life and conduct fish surveys as a part of REEF's ongoing Volunteer Fish Survey Project. CoCo View Resort in Roatan, Honduras celebrates this event for the whole month of July to educate and encourage divers and snorkelers to become citizen scientists. The GAFC is a catalyst to introduce divers, snorkelers and the general public to volunteer in fish monitoring.
