Sergio, Rick and myself met with Claus, a soon to be UofM phd who is working with NOAA about possible MUE projects. We are looking at documenting wrecks beyond Miami Dade DERM's limit of 100ft with video and photos. REEF fish surveys would be extremely valuable. Lionfish assassination and recovery would also be a niche way to help. The photos and video could be added to GUE's Project Baseline.

REEF fish data would be the first step in creating GUE trained "Research Divers" that could collect trusted data. Its a long ways away. Most "scientists" are paid by grant to do specific projects. They are not looking for projects and they have to be very cautious of the data they use because bad data could cost them their grant and worse, their reputation as a scientist.
