Reef Check Foundation

Reef Check Foundation performs three vital tasks necessary to promote stewardship of sustainable reef communities worldwide: 1) We train and organize teams of local volunteer citizen scientist divers. They collect data on reef health and assess climate change impacts on their reefs. Their work produces reliable information used by marine resource managers, scientists, and policymakers to make science-based ocean management and conservation decisions. 2) We promote public education about reefs and the ocean. Our immersive education programs train participants to understand the threats marine ecosystems face and provide them with the tools to become ocean stewards. 3) We develop ecologically sound and economically sustainable solutions for reef conservation and restoration.
