The biological conservation research foundation, Bicref, said its Scuba Biodiversity Project sponsored by the international Aware Foundation has led to renewed and increased assistance from most local scuba schools.

Among these are Sea Shell Dive Centre, Oxygene, Subway, Neptunes, H20, Nautic Team, Dive Shake and Gozo Aqua Sport.

These centres, schools and clubs in collaboration with Bicref helped identify unknown species, the foundation said.

Bicref conducts marine and coastal biodiversity surveys with the assistance of scuba divers, snorkelling and sailing enthusiasts.
