There are still a few spaces available on the REEF Field Survey Trip to Gardens of the Queen marine park in Cuba, coming up on December 11-18, 2021. The Gardens of the Queen park is known as one of the best-preserved marine environments in the Caribbean, with frequent sightings of large predators like snapper, grouper, and sharks. It's also one of the few places where the rare Golden Fairy Basslet has been reported. Trip attendees will conduct fish surveys in this unique location and contribute valuable survey information to REEF's online database. Click here for more information about the trip.

Be sure to also check out the 2022 and 2023 REEF Trips by visiting www.REEF.org/trips. REEF Trips are led by marine life experts, and include diving, seminars about fish identification, and plenty of fun with friends. Snorkelers, families, and non-divers are also welcome.
