The purpose of REEF is to educate and enlist divers in the conservation of marine habitats. The main focus of this site is the Fish Survey Project, in which volunteer scuba divers and snorkelers collect and report information on marine fish populations. The data is accessible through this website, and users can both contribute data they gather and generate reports from the database. A variety of reports can be created, including lists of all species found within a specific geographic area or the distribution of a fish species or family. There is an excellent explanation of how the data can be interpreted and what the parameters in the reports represent.
