We’re wrapping up the survey season in the Pacific Northwest, but that doesn’t mean our work is over for the year! ⁠
⁠
Every new season leads to a shift in activity. Although we love our in-water time, the ‘dry’ work we do makes our efforts effective. ⁠
⁠
If you joined us for surveying in Washington this year, check your email and join us for the end-of-season party!⁠
⁠
Having a little bit of FOMO? Join us for Reef Check training next year, and see what the hype is all about.⁠
