REEF SURVEY

In our science class we are working with an organization called REEF to help monitor marine life. REEF's mission is to conserve marine ecosystems for their recreational, commercial, and intrinsic value by educating, enlisting and enabling divers and other marine enthusiasts to become active stewards and citizen scientists. REEF links the diving community with scientists through marine-life data collection and related activities. Isn't that cool! We are so lucky because our class was able to a fish pond in Kihei, Maui and snorkel and look for fish. Unfortunately, when we went to the fish pond it was full of sediment because of the recent storm so we couldn't see much. Normally, the fish pond is clear and beautiful and full of fish.
