Reef Survey
So our latest project, was doing a reef survey. We went snorkeling in a fish pond, and identified all the fish that we saw.
Reef, Reed Enviornmental Education Foundation, is an orginization, whos goal is to conserve the marine life by educating people how to become "active ocean stewards and citizen scientists."
Our snorkeling experience at the fish pond was not very enjoyable, the ground was covered in mushy sediment, and there was no visibility at all.
throughout the entire excursion I saw a total of one fish, and the rest of the time, there was nothing there to see.
I think that a recent storm in Maui is the cause of the poor conditions, there was an unbelievable amount of run-off, and destructive debree flooding the area, during the storm, and it will take a while to return to its original, and beautiful condition.
