REEF
classifies their volunteer surveyors into 5 levels. You can move up from
one level to the next by taking a quiz/test and submitting a certain number
of surveys. You will need to know common name and family or phylum for
each species.
Contact
your
nearest Field Station or email Janna
Nichols to arrange for a test. Some tests may be taken online.
