ABOUT GAFC
Great Annual Fish Count event
The Great Annual Fish Count (GAFC) is a fun way to learn about local oceans. Every July, divers, and snorkelers across the world join to learn about marine diversity and conduct fish surveys as a part of REEF's ongoing Volunteer Fish Survey Project. The GAFC is only a catalyst to introduce divers/snorkelers and the general public to volunteer fish monitoring. Data are needed year-round, not just during the month of July.
EcoPro Training Center as REEF Conservation Partner in IORS Region, is organising two events.
