Who uses the data collected by REEF members?
The REEF dataset is publicly-accessible on this Website. A variety of groups use the data, including REEF members, the general public, and several conservation groups and management agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Park Service, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC). As the REEF Fish Survey Project has grown, several scientific papers and products have been produced using the roving diver survey method and the REEF database. In addition, the REEF Fish Survey Project has become integrated into several projects. To read more about these projects and to see a list of scientific papers that have produced, visit the Monitoring and Research page and the Publications page.
