As a REEF member, living in the NE US or Canada, you have been selected to receive these Critterwatcher emails. They are aimed at those who dive locally in the cold NE waters to help encourage REEF surveying of the area's marine populations. If you live in the NE, but don't dive locally, you may find these emails not exactly up your alley.

This message was sent to the REEF NE Surveyors email list, an online messaging service to update local members about REEF in the NE. REEF will maintain your email address as confidential information.
