Save the Date for the 2021 Great Annual Fish Count to be held on Saturday, July 24, 2021 at Stage Fort Park, Gloucester, MA. Thank you to all of our participants and sponsors for your ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you at our event in 2021! REEF Northeast US & Canada Critterwatchers, REEF Reef Environmental Education Foundation New England Species IDWhile we are all waiting to get back in the water, have a look at SECONN Divers New England Fish ID page. It's got some great pictures, and will help you learn what you're seeing underwater! http://www.seconndivers.org/dive-info/new-england-species-id/Don't Let Your Membership LapseEven while they are closed, the New England Aquarium is still caring for animals and maintaining the facilities and exhibits. They are also keeping a skeleton crew at work, and running virtual programs. With no income from visitors, it's more important than ever to maintain your membership so they can continue to keep up with these expenses. Your dive club membership ($15 add on to the Aquarium membership) allows us to have speakers every month throughout the year (which we will continue to do online). The Aquarium launched an online advocacy tool as a way that people can show their support for the Aquarium. The tool helps visitors submit a letter to their elected officials asking Congress to support emergency relief funding for non-profit aquariums, zoos, and museums across the country. It takes less than 30 seconds and costs nothing to participate. More Resources for supporting the NEAq: Support Your Local Dive Shop!The local dive shops across New England continue to need your business! Many are remaining open by appointment, and still offering classes virtually or equipment servicing. Watch this space for a list of dive shops that are staying open, and what services they offer.
If you know of any that I missed, let me know, and I'll list it here. New England Diving Events Calendar
