REEF Database Hits Landmark

On behalf of all of us at REEF, we would like to thank everyone who has already donated to our summer matching campaign. All donations have been matched dollar for dollar by the Curtis and Edith Munson Foundation!

If you haven’t yet had a chance, please donate today – either through our online secure donate form (https://www.REEF.org/contribute), or by calling REEF HQ at 305-852-0030.

Financial support from members like you ensure we can continue our valuable data collection programs. Yesterday, we celebrated REEF’s 150,000th survey submitted to our database! The lucky 150k survey was conducted by Ross Whiteside on June 13 at Mixing Bowl in Little Cayman. Ross and his wife, Terri, have been active REEF members since 2002 and are members of the Advanced Assessment Team. We are so grateful to Ross and Terri as well as all of our surveying members for helping us achieve this landmark!

In honor of this achievement, please double your donation today and help us meet our goal of raising $60,000 in 60 days. Twenty years of support from members like you have made it possible for REEF to build and maintain this valuable history of fish populations throughout our program regions.
