Fish Biodiversity Surveys

How to participate

Surveys will be conducted through:

> CoastKeepers community dive days.
Days organised directly via CoastKeepers for individuals to participate in survey dives. These are the dives that you'll sign up to directly through NPA.

> Open dive groups and dive operators.
Established dive groups that invite CoastKeepers to join dives. You'll sign up for these dives through the contacts given in the regular CoastKeepers e-newsletters you'll receive when you register.

> Closed dive groups.
As the name suggests, these dives are not open for additional divers to join. These pre-established dive groups can not cater for additional divers to join their surveys.
