Pacific NW REEF Experience Levels

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.

There are three people who can administer the tests in Washington: Janna Nichols (SW Washington), Christy Semmens (Seattle area), and Wes Nicholson (Bremerton area).

Contact Janna to arrange for a test.
