When someone becomes a REEF member, they are automatically a Level 1 surveyor. Level 2 is where all the work starts! The highest level in a region is Level 5. Many of our members hold Experience Levels in more than one region.
Not a Level 2 surveyor yet? It's easy to become one! Just pass a short fish ID quiz with 80% or better and submit 2 REEF surveys. Contact stacey.henderson@REEF.org for more information or to schedule a quiz. Click here to learn more about REEF Experience Levels.
