<b class="">Organization Background</b><br class="">
REEF conserves marine environments worldwide. Our mission is
to protect biodiversity and ocean life by actively engaging
and inspiring the public through citizen science, education,
and partnerships with the scientific community. REEF programs
include marine life education, field research, and one of the
largest citizen science programs in the world through unique
partnerships with private, governmental, scientific, and
educational sectors. REEF’s programs directly benefit and help
to protect marine life worldwide.<br class="">
<br class="">
REEF was founded in 1990 as a way to educate scuba divers and
snorkelers in marine life identification and to utilize their
marine life sightings. Patterned after the successful Audubon
and Cornell birding programs, REEF has grown into a
65,000 plus member organization with programs in place
throughout the western hemisphere. Primary among these
programs is the Volunteer Fish Survey Project, enabling marine
enthusiasts to conduct surveys and submit sightings data
from throughout the Tropical Western Atlantic, coastal
North America, Tropical Eastern Pacific, Hawaii, and South
Pacific. Data are managed by REEF staff and made available to
researchers, scientists, managers, and the public free
of charge via REEF’s on-line database at <a
href="http://www.reef.org/" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">www.REEF.org</a>.
To date more than 200,000 marine life surveys have been
submitted.<br class="">
<br class="">
In addition to the Volunteer Fish Survey Project, REEF
maintains a large and active diver education program with
standardized course materials for each of its survey regions.
Strong partnerships within the diving industry and effective
outreach provide opportunities for thousands of divers to
learn about marine life and take part in surveying activities
throughout the year. REEF manages the July-long Great Annual
Fish Count; the Grouper Moon Project – researching grouper
spawning aggregations; the Exotic Species Program –
tracking the impact and control of non-native marine fish
species, particularly the human-induced invasion of
Indo-Pacific lionfish into the Tropical West Atlantic;
Special Projects – assessing fish population changes in and
around marine reserves and on and around newly developed
artificial reefs; printed and e-newsletter communications;
and, numerous field survey and data gathering expeditions.
REEF maintains strong partnerships with federal, state, and
local government agencies as well as other US based and
international agencies, NGOs, and business entities.<br
