Anyone who has a pretty good handle on their critters is welcome to participate. So what's the interest level?

I don't know how many divers are needed over how long a period of time but you might contact the Seattle Aquarium since there are volunteer divers there every day of the week and it wouldn't be hard to get them to go down to the area you are referring to.nwscubamom wrote:I got a call today from a researcher interested in using volunteers to do a survey (fish and invertebrates) on some 4 X 6 panels they have set out by the seawall on the Seattle Waterfront, between the Seattle Aquarium and the new Sculpture park. There are three of these I think - and they are shallow, maybe 10-20 feet under. They just need some divers to go down there and see what's growing on them and if any fish are there too, and possibly snap off some pictures.

I'll need to check in with the Seattle harbor patrol and possibly the USCG if there's a bigger or military ship nearby (e.g. there has been a tanker at Bell Harbor marina for the past week, also frigates sometimes land there). Both have security zones. Shouldn't be a problem though.nwscubamom wrote: That's super that you would be willing to provide a boat! That might just solve one of the problems.
Yes you technically need a permit. However if this is associated with the aquarium they already have a permit. And I'm curious why the Aquraium wouldn't use their own divers. I will email Jeff C. and find out the scoop.Jeff Kruse wrote:I think you need permision to dive there. A quick call to the harbor patrol might be in order.
