FREE SEATTLE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FISH AND INVERTEBRATE
IDENTIFICATION CLASSES OFFERED BY THE SEADOC SOCIETY
The SeaDoc Society is sponsoring free Pacific Northwest Fish and Invertebrate Identification classes in Seattle on Saturday, June 10th, 2006. These classes are designed for SCUBA divers and will also be of interest to others who appreciate our marine ecosystem and would like to know more about the wildlife in the water. The free, adult-level classes prepare divers and snorkelers to conduct REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation) marine life identification surveys in the Pacific Northwest. Participants will learn how to identify about 45 fish and 45 invertebrates.

8am – Noon Pacific NW Fish Identification Class
Noon – 1pm Lunch Break - a chance to stretch your legs and get lunch
1pm – 5pm Pacific NW Invertebrate Identification Class
Janna Nichols, of REEF, is the instructor for the classes. The REEF Survey Project allows volunteer SCUBA divers and snorkelers to collect and report information on marine fish and invertebrate populations. The data are collected using a fun and easy standardized method, and are housed in a publicly-accessible database on REEF's website (http://www.reef.org). These data are used by a variety of resource agencies and researchers.
The classes will be held at the Seattle Aquarium (1483 Alaskan Way) in the large upstairs classroom. More information including directions and parking information is available at: http://www.seattleaquarium.org/visit/location.
To register for the classes send email including your name, mailing address and phone to Lavonne Hull at lwhull@ucdavis.edu and indicate whether you will attend both sessions or the Fish (morning) or Invertebrate (afternoon) session only. The registration deadline is June 9, 2006 and space is available on a first-come first-served basis.
