Meet the Team
Reef Life Survey is only possible through the extraordinary contributions of volunteers. There are too many to list, but this larger team represents the integral component of RLS.
The guidance and administration of RLS occurs through a Board and an Advisory Committee acting on a voluntary basis. The Board and Advisory committee are supported by a data management team at the University of Tasmania. Advisory Committee members represent scientific, government management agency and volunteer diver interests.
