Achieving logging 1,000 REEF Surveys is no small feat. REEF Member Lynn Fulks of San Diego County, just completed her 1,000 th survey dive at Atlantis Resort in Puerto Galera, Philippines diving with the Water Planet Images group she joins every year. Lynn's journey to REEF and her Golden Status started in 2006. Lynn was inspired in by Golden Hamlet Linda Ridley in Bonaire, living aboard their sailing catamaran Blue Marine. Linda taught Lynn and husband Todd the REEF ID courses and pushed her all the way to Level 5 in the TWA Region.
We’re excited to introduce a new addition to the REEF store: Latex Rubber Tubing for Survey Pencil Attachment. Designed as a colorful, practical way to secure a pencil to a survey slate, each 17-inch piece of tubing comes with three beads for attachment, and is recommended for use with a golf pencil or thin mechanical pencil. It is available in a range of colors and priced at $2.99. A photo tutorial on how to set up your plate, pencil and tubing is located on the purchase page.
Ever struggled with trying to decide which habitat to mark on your survey? You are not alone. It can sometimes be a tricky decision. Did you know that with all survey regions combined there are a total of 29 habitat options? Don’t worry, you don’t need to know all of them, but, if you happen to survey in a certain region, you may not know about other habitat types.
This inclusive event will highlight neurodiversity as speakers share their personal experiences and insights on how their perspective shaped their academic and scientific careers.
When diverse experiences are brought together and amplified, they become a movement, a force for change. You are invited to be a part of this movement and join the conversation, as we share and learn together about the importance of listening, understanding, and amplifying the voices and experiences of equity-deserving groups in marine conservation.
