Specially trained teams of divers from the Washington Scuba Alliance (WSA) and the Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) go out monthly either by boat ( Pacific Adventure Charters, Don and Diane Coleman, captains) or shore to dive year round, observing and counting fish and invertebrate life in 8 various sites on Hood Canal, north to south. The purpose of these dives is to not only gather data of numbers of marine species, but to observe their condition, and check for the presence of invasive tunicates. Divers know what is 'normal' and what is not, and know what stress looks like in fish and invertebrates. Please visit the Hood Canal Dissolved Oxygen Project website for additional information.

Any questions? Please call WSA Board member Janna Nichols at 360-798-6414.
