Caribbean Ecosystem Survey
Gustavo Paredes, a Ph.D candidate at Scripps Institute of Oceanography at University of California San Diego is looking for AAUS certifed divers to help with an ongoing effort to survey the Caribbean. He says,
We have successfully surveyed the reefs in Belize, Cozumel, Jamaica and Cuba. Our next step is to survey the FKNMS and we are inviting someone to join us to help quantify [sic] the benthic community.
Survey Dates: July 25 -August 19th (2005).
Requirement: AAUS certified (preferably), must be able to identify a wide range of benthic organisms including macro algae, sponges, coral, etc., from the Caribbean region.
Here's the killer part: All expenses are paid!
Contact gparedes@ucsd.edu for more information.
