Overview:

Join FWC biologists as we monitor progress on a large Oyster Reef Habitat Restoration Project in St. Andrew's Bay, FL. Field days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday every week, as well as the second Saturday of the month. 8 volunteers spots are open for each day. From August to October, we will be surveying different aspects of the project:

Aug 6th - Sept 4th: Reef Height & Coverage Surveys

Sept 6th - Oct 5th: Monitoring Unit Surveys

Each survey has slightly different goals and requirements, so please read the description in "Today's Opportunity" on the sign-up page for specific information. For example, some surveys require swimming while others can be conducted from the boat.
