Vol. SCUBA Event – Rockfish Survey
Meet in the limited parking area of the Fox Island West Wall dive site- please only park in designated areas to respect the neighbors. If the parking lot is full, we can discuss plans to shuttle between the additional parking up the hill. RSVP to help plan for parking.
While connecting with other divers for a dive or two, you are also invited to learn about conducting a young-of-year rockfish survey – a community science collaboration with NOAA and Paua Marine Research Group, locally organized between Harbor WildWatch and Tacoma SCUBA Dive Club. The dive brief from Harbor WildWatch biologist, Stena Troyer will include a short rockfish survey training which is a twist of science you can add to any future splash – no scientific experience necessary. Following the survey training, the group will put your survey skills to the test with a Tacoma SCUBA Club Dive.
Survey Training: 4:15pm
Day Dive: Splash around 5pm
Night Dive: Splash around 7pm- proper certification required.
There are no facilities at this site – please plan ahead.
