Maca will take a group of six divers to Blue Heron Bridge for a full morning of helping identify fishes, Fish ID surveying, and submitting the data to REEF.org.The morning starts at 9:30 AM with a brief on the "usual suspects" underwater and teaching how to conduct a Roving Diver Survey. Then we will prepare our gear to enter the water at 11 AM where we will swim freely throughout the site and record every observed fish species and approximate abundance scores that can be positively identified.
The goal is to find as many species as possible, so divers are encouraged to look under ledges and up in the water column. Sea turtle species are also reported!
Once the current gets too strong, the dive will end and we will exit the water to share the experience and identify our together our possible “mystery fish” and answer questions on how to submit the data to REEF.
Our data will be accessible online for all to use in a variety of reports!
