Join REEF in learning how to ID fish, and then spend some dive time collecting info. My nephew and I are going to the July 9th class at First Coast Scuba.
Divers and Snorkelers, learn to identify the fish you see on every dive. Help marine life conservation and have fun at the same time. The Jacksonville Reef Research Team (JRRT) and the Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) invite you to participate in the Great Annual Fish Count this July.
