It seems we went from sunny dry and 85 to cloudy, wet and 70. Hopefully that will help with visibility and oxygen levels. August was a busy month for the Club. The summer social at Mukilteo was well attended and went off with only a few hitches. It was the first event we’ve had there and everyone seemed to have a good time. When we started this new event last year we decided to alternate between a southern and a northern location so that members in one area don’t always have to make an epic journey to attend. Next summer we will be somewhere in the south sound. Randy and crew helped the City of Edmonds with their annual moonlight madness event on the 22nd. We’ve worked with them on this event for a number of years and the attendance grows every year. Everyone who helps out enjoys it. 2 Cover Photo Taken by: Steve Kalilimoku Location: Three Tree Point, Burien Camera data: Camera- E-PM1, f/5 1/100 sec, ISO-200, 2 I-Torch Venusian Video Lights New Members Welcome to the Club!

  • ANNUAL REPORT REEF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION Daryl Duda
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT REEF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION Daryl Duda • 1 • LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT Looking back on more than a quarter-century of ocean conservation, REEF’s impact is remarkable. From using citizen science as a means to explore our oceans, to combating invasive species like lionfish, and working to protect endangered species like Nassau Grouper, we are proud to be a community of more than 60,000 ocean stewards dedicated to marine conservation. Today, more than 15,000 divers and snorkelers have contributed to the world’s largest marine life database, which includes more than 200,000 surveys. It has never been more important to ensure that we protect our oceans by promoting citizen science and environmental education, and REEF is working to build a strong legacy of ocean conservation. As we look to the future, we plan to continue building a community of ocean stewards by expanding our facility in Key Largo, Florida, to ensure that we can educate even more people about our the importance of our marine environment. Whether you have been with REEF since it was founded in 1990, or joined somewhere along the way, we are grateful for the time, skills, and financial resources you give to make a significant difference in ocean conservation. Thank you for being a part of our mission to conserve marine environments worldwide, and I hope you will continue to join us on our adventures. Paul Humann, President and Co-Founder BOARD OF TRUSTEES Paul Humann Paul H. Humann, President and Co-Founder Ned DeLoach, Co-Founder James P.

    Journal 2018 JournalJournal 20182018 2018 Conference Journal Team Cindy Haverkamp Wes Stanton Patrick Scriven David Valera Annual Conference Theme for 2018 The theme for annual conference for the 2017-2020 quadrennium is ‘Do This and You Will Live!’ In 2018 we considered Luke 10:25-28 where the young lawyer asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. “We’ll ask ourselves and God, Do what? Or, what does love look like?,” shared Bishop Elaine JW Stanovsky, in her invitation to conference members. The colored quadrants in our logo symbolize the four demands to love God with all of our heart, being, strength, and mind. “God is the center of the circle, and the radii indicate the different ways human beings live,” explains Stanovsky. As we move closer to God, we also move closer to others. As we intentionally move closer to our neighbors, we also move closer to God. Original logo designed by Jesse Love.
