Twenty-five years later, REEF's Volunteer Fish Survey Project (VFSP) is a valuable tool for studying the oceans. The project provides insight into the health and biodiversity of our oceans and is a key way that REEF members can make a difference in today's ever-changing marine environment. REEF Co-Founder, Paul Humann, and Director of Special Projects, Lad Akins, will discuss the past, present, and future of the VFSP by sharing a quarter-century's worth of engaging stories and photos. Social at 6:15 p.m., presentation from 7-8 p.m., at REEF Campus, MM 98.3 in the median. REEF Fish & Friends is a free, monthly seminar series that features engaging ocean-themed presentations from guest speakers.
