UW Survey Paper - SOP

**IMPT - most CIP, SOP, and IORS papers fit on REEF's large-format slates. They do not fit on the regular small yellow REEF survey slate. Be sure to order a slate as well as the paper if you don't already have one.**

These convenient waterproof check sheets are used with your slate to record your fish sightings during a survey dive. It provides a permanent record of each survey and makes transferring your survey data to the online data entry or scanform easy. Sheets are double sided - two dives per sheet.

Most of the survey paper for the species-rich tropical Paciifc are large format paper (11"x17"). These papers list a more extensive list of species found in the area. These papers are formatted to fit REEF's larger white slate (slate available here).

There are two SOP papers that include a shorter list of species and are regular paper size (6"x17"). These papers fit on the standard (yellow) REEF slate (slate available here): Fiji(short) and Samoa (short). The Fiji (short) paper is for surveyors who may be new to surveying in the tropical Pacific and are visiting Fiji independantly (not part of a REEF Field Survey Trip).
