REEF-in-Brief September 2010

Greetings!

While fall used to be a slower time here at REEF, this year we are busier than ever. In addition to working with scientists to get them up-to-date species data and continuing to coordinate and expand the citizen science Fish Survey Project to new regions, the REEF staff is involved in a variety of marine conservation issues including the lionfish invasion in the Caribbean and associated waters and endangered species spawning aggregation research. This issue of REEF-in-Brief features updates from several of these programs.

Dear Valued REEF Members,

REEF-in-Brief March 2010

Welcome to another edition of our e-newsletter, REEF-in-Brief. I want to personally thank the over 600 REEF members who donated during our Fall/Winter campaign. Through your generous support, we raised over $75,000. Donations from individuals are critical to helping ensure that we can continue critical marine conservation work. If you haven't given yet, please consider a contribution to REEF today.

Hello and Happy Fall! In this issue of REEF-in-Brief, we remind you of the many ways to make dives that count, and share secrets for success in using the Online Data Entry program. While we still process paper survey scansheets, we highly recommend that our surveyors submit their data to the Volunteer Survey Project through the online program. Not only is it faster and more accurate, it requires less REEF staff resources and saves money on postage and paper.

REEF-in-Brief July 2010

Greetings REEF Friends!

This month marks the Great Annual Fish Count (GAFC), REEF's annual event that celebrates our fish survey program. In this issue of REEF-in-Brief we highlight a few of the many GAFC events that were held by our partners throughout the month of July. New REEF staff, Alecia Adamson just returned from the Field Survey to Roatan and her report is below. We are also proud to announce that REEF has facilitated the donation of lionfish collection kits to 27 dive operators in the Florida Keys.
