can't survey ocean wildlife because I'm a mermaid?

I suspect you might need to wait for a mod for that one :( But worth adding to Feedback as well.

So, how am I supposed to do my daily task? I don't really want to turn her back into human so can somebody please help me?

They covered that question in todays Q & A - that merfolk do not have to do some things humans must do in marine biology as it is not something they need to do - they do not need snorkels or breathing air - It says they will still achieve being a marine biologist but no snorkeling. They are part fish and have gills.

@LaziMinx, if you have the UI Cheats mod you can just click on that task & it will complete. Had to do this yesterday because of a self-inflicted problem.

I had this come up for my mermaid. She couldn't complete it but she was not punished for not doing it. She still got a good report back from the boss the next morning and a promotion.

Edit: I just had the task again, this time I noticed the option to survey ocean floor at one of the red bouys, this completed the task.

Its not working for me at all and my sim is just a human female. She was punished by having her money cut for not completing the task despite doing the task 3 times and sending in data. It's not a mod that is needed its a fix I think.

I've found a solution to this! If you do the social interaction "Spread Conservation Awareness" it counts as doing the survey ocean wildlife daily task!!! :) :)

There's no other way to survey wildlife, right?
Like looking at fish inside of an aquarium? xD

What about the dive buoys?

So far my mermaid can do the option survey ocean floor and that has counted, she's a marine biologist

Survey Ocean Floor works every time for my Mermaid Marine Biologist.
