Reef Life Survey
Reef Life Survey, http://reeflifesurvey.com/

Reef Life Survey (RLS) aims to improve biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of marine resources by producing high-quality survey information beyond those possible by scientific dive teams (which have to work with increasingly limited resources). It does this through the skills of experienced and motivated recreational SCUBA divers, as well as through partnerships with management agencies.

The Scientific rigour of data is maintained with ongoing assistance by scientists and the data are freely available to the public for non-profit purposes to look at changes over time in their own local reefs. By making data freely available and through their WinWeb website, RLS aims to raise awareness of marine conservation issues.
