REEF Survey

1. What is the mission of REEF?

The Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) mission is to preserve the marine life, by education and teaming up with divers, scientist and others who are concerned about the marine life. REEF joins up with with these people to make a collection of data on the marine life and other related activities.

2. A description of the location and the procedure used during the survey.

For this survey we went to the fish pond. For this activity we where required to wear snorkel gear, in order to see better in the water. We also needed the suppl es provided by REEF which was given to use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAH). Some of this supple included note pad, water proof paper and pencil and a fish chart used as reference.

3. Reflection of REEF Survey.

During this field trip we experienced poor conditions, it had just recently rained, and it was partly cloud making it hard to see fish in the water. Also the water was a little churned up causing the sand to be kicked up and making the water even murkier. Even during these poor conditions I was able to see a small group of fish of three but I was unable to identify what type of fish they were because of weather conditions and both fish scattered out of my line of sight.
