[CINC] Announcement for REEF Fish and Invert ID classes August 12 and 13th

[Laura Francis]

REEF Fish and Invertebrate ID classes - Santa Barbara - FREE!
Learn how to identify many of your local California fish, invertebrates 
and algae you see on your
dives. Join us for two FREE classes that are bound to increase your 
enjoyment of diving!
Geared towards recreational divers - this is not a marine biology course 
but rather a fun way for
divers to learn what they're seeing underwater. We'll be using common 
names, not scientific
names, and focus on how to ID each critter.

Want to put your new found knowledge to good use? These classes also 
help divers learn how
to become citizen scientists for REEF and help monitor California marine 
life on their
recreational dives. Data gathered goes into REEF's online database to 
help students,
researchers, scientists, etc. (see www.reef.org)
