About
REEF Trips: In 2018, REEF citizen science volunteers conducted 15 trips to study the diversity and abundance of marine life species. Trip participants SCUBA dive and snorkel to collect and report information on marine fish populations as well as sea turtles and select invertebrate and algae species. This data is used to better understand and protect ocean ecosystems worldwide. Fisheries protections around the world depend on high-quality data. With REEF data, submitted by citizen scientists, researchers are making exciting discoveries about marine ecosystems, and policymakers have more information to refine conservation efforts.
