Reef Watch

There is a worldwide protocol by which to assess reef health called Reef Watch.  Our students received explanation about this protocol and we conducted an assessment of a local reef in good condition.

The instructors established a 10 x 10 meter areas within which the students swam back and forth in a grid to assess various aspects of the reef.

    Such great work and I love what they are learning. I told Mackenzie that she is getting ruined with the great diving and visibility there. She will do local diving in the future and compare it to this LOL! Thank you for the updates.

    Pretty cool job to be restoring the reefs! I'm sure Lyndi is enjoying it! I have to say it's a lot neater than had thought it would be.
