Reef Life Survey Images

Reef Life Survey (RLS) aims to improve biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of marine resources through the production of high-quality survey information at spatial and temporal scales beyond those possible by scientific dive teams (which have to work with increasingly limited resources). It does this through the skills of experienced and motivated recreational SCUBA divers, as well as through partnerships with management agencies and a steering committee comprising managers, scientists and recreational divers (see RLS Steering Committee). RLS thus represents a dynamic cooperation between scientists, marine managers and recreational SCUBA divers, such that the skills and resources available for collecting, analysing, interpreting and effectively using broad-scale, sub-tidal biodiversity information are maximised.珊瑚礁生命调查（Reef Life Survey，RLS）旨在通过产出空间与时间尺度远超科学潜水团队（后者受制于日益缩减的资源）所能生成的高质量调查数据，提升生物多样性保护水平与海洋资源可持续管理能力。该项目依托经验丰富且积极性高涨的休闲水肺（SCUBA）潜水员的专业技能，同时通过与管理机构的合作，以及由管理者、科学家与休闲潜水员组成的指导委员会开展工作（详见RLS指导委员会）。因此，RLS是科学家、海洋管理者与休闲水肺潜水员之间的动态协作模式，可最大化用于收集、分析、解读并高效利用大范围潮下带生物多样性信息的技能与资源。
