As Reef Environmental Education Foundations Conservation Partner, we provide Marine identification training and certification for all levels. Once you achieve level 4 expertise you have graduated to the Advance Assessment Team for more dive opportunities. Your REEF survey of Saltwater State Park throughout the year is valuable long term data. Saltwater marine park has 4 different REEF codes you can use depending on where you are surveying. (see REEF map).

We have compiled reports from our Marine Life Surveys, and they are available to the public below for you to see how the marine life has done here over the years.

Marine Monitoring

Our marine world we are learning is so vital to us and the health of our planet yet there is so little we know. As part of community science we survey the marine park and we provide many fun marine volunteer opportunities.

Buoy Monitoring and Maintenance

In the marine park there are 4 marker canister buoys that help boaters recognize where the Marine Preserve Area is located. Inside the MPA there are two mooring buoys for dive boats and there are two buoys for divers to descend on the reefs. Volunteer support is need in many marine oriented activities including photography, data analysis and buoy maintenance, both diver and non diver volunteers are welcome.
