Novice Fish Identification Training Session and REEF Survey

Wednesday, Mar 24, 2010, 9:30am - 12:00pm
Location: 
Waikiki, Queen's beach, near lifeguard tower 2F (look for a white pop-up tent)
RSVP Instructions: 
If you’d like to join us for the training session and/or snorkel survey, please RSVP to Heather at heather@reefwatchwaikiki.org to let her know which event you’d like to sign-up for. Those wishing to participate in any of the snorkel surveys must first participate in a training session and should be strong swimmers, competent snorkelers, and have their own mask, snorkel and fins.

Join us for a one hour introductory reef fish ID training class which will be followed by an OPTIONAL snorkel survey immediately afterwards for those who would like to test what they’ve learned. The class will begin at 9:30 am and the survey will begin at 11:00 am. The survey will last approximately 30-40 minutes and involve identifying, counting and recording reef fish observed in the Waikiki MLCD. After the snorkel, we’ll gather briefly on the beach to identify any unknown fish and share sightings of cool marine critters.

If participating in the snorkel survey, please bring: mask, snorkel, fins, wetsuit/rash guard, towel, sunscreen and water. Snacks, pens and pencils, and dive slates will be provided
