Our Volunteer Fish Survey Project has some enthusiastic surveyors who have moved up a level this month. All REEF members are Level 1 by default, so Experience Level 2 is really the first step toward learning fish identification in our various regions. This month's advancements almost entirely consist of new Level 2 surveyors! Those advancing came from:
- Eckerd College
- Bahamas Reef Environmental Education Foundation
- Herb Gruenhagen's monthly California Marine life classes in San Diego
- Whale Shark and Oceanic Research Center on Utila
- The recent Field Survey Trip to the Solomon Islands
Level 5 is the highest level and we love seeing our surveyors consistently moving up the Experience Level ladder toward this goal.
