Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The value of programs such as REEF lies in their involvement of citizens in the collection of data and the removal of invasive species from coral reefs. This helps to increase the amount of information available about coral reefs and address threats to their health and survival. Additionally, it promotes public engagement and awareness of the importance of protecting these ecosystems. The other answer choices are not accurate because REEF does not primarily focus on fundraising, replacing qualified scientists with untrained volunteers, or increasing commercial fishing yields.
