RLS is only possible through the extraordinary contributions of volunteers. The guidance and administration of RLS occurs through a Board and Advisory Committee, both acting on a voluntary basis. Advisory Committee members represent scientific, government management agency and volunteer diver interests. The Board and Advisory Committee are supported by a data management team at the University of Tasmania.
