Reef Check is happy to announce that kelp forest monitoring trainings in California are now open for registration at https://www.reefcheck.org/kelp-forest-program/training-schedule/
(These trainings are for divers who meet the course prerequisites and have no prior Reef Check experience.)
The Reef Check Kelp Forest Monitoring Training course is designed to provide participants with the skills and experience to complete the Reef Check Kelp Forest Monitoring survey protocol accurately. In addition to direct survey methods, the training will address safe diving practices, techniques of research diving, sampling design and theory, general marine ecology including species identification and interactions, and the importance of monitoring to meet marine management needs.
