Hello Folks,
Here at Washington divers, we are demonstrating our support for REEF and Marine conservation by becoming a Field Station!
As a station we will serve as an active center for outreach and education for REEF. While offering Fish & Invertebrate identification courses, and organized survey dives.
REEF enlists the help of divers and snorkelers-(Citizen Scientists!) to keep track of marine life they see in the water. This data goes into the largest publicly available marine life database of its kind, and is used by scientists, researchers, teachers, students, citizens, & even policy makers.
To submit your data- Join REEF for FREE online to receive a member number to log in.
