PNW current survey count

Best way to beat the heat is to be underwater! That 52 degree water sure feels great this time of year. If you've never done a survey before, this is the perfect time to start!


Start with just ONE!

Did you know you can submit a survey with just ONE fish species on it? You don't have to be an expert to start surveying. If you know only one fish, and you see it on your dive and can positively identify it, you can record it and submit the data. And then next time, you can add another one, and so on, as you learn them.

To submit data, you'll need a REEF member number. You can get one here:
