Empowering people to save our reefs and oceans

 

"Reef Check Australia has an impressive record of commitment to coral reef conservation. It provides an important avenue for meaningful community involvement in coral reef issues, monitoring, and conservation at both local and regional levels. Its track record reassures me that your ongoing support will be rewarded in very positive outcomes for the reef, and for all people who care about it." Dr. Terry Done, Scientist | Coral Reefs; Associate | Australian Institute of Marine Science


Reef Check Australia is an award-winning marine conservation charity. We are responding to the severe threats facing Australia's beautiful coral reefs because we believe there is hope if we take action now.

Making a World of Difference

Congratulations to our long-term Project Officer, Jodi Salmond and to US! Thanks to your support, Jodi was selected to participate in the Vodaphone Australia World of Difference program and will be working with us full-time on reef monitoring and education over the next year. 

Jodi's passion, energy and skills are a great example of all of the work that dedicated volunteers contribute to our organisation. We hope Jodi will inspire and empower many more people to make their own world of difference for our reefs and oceans.

Corals are made up of many small individual polyps working together to build something bigger than themselves. Help us build a bigger, better Reef Check community by Adopting a Coral Polyp. For a $10 donation your name will be listed on the Reef Check Australia website, acknowledging your contribution.

Many small actions can have big results.
