Action for our reefs is urgently needed. We have a window of opportunity to act on climate change, the largest threat to coral reefs around the world. This is going to require a movement of informed people taking action at many levels. We believe informed and empowered local communities have a key role to play in this movement.
It’s time to unite. Our approach is to collaborate with a range of partners, including tourism operators, environmental groups, schools, universities, government agencies, businesses, and individuals interested in marine conservation.
Reef Check provides a trusted and inclusive approach to engaging volunteers, collecting long-term reef health data, educating communities, and delivering on-ground action.
In order to improve the health of coral reefs, we need to understand how we're influencing reefs with our actions--both negative and positive. Then we need to build a movement of people that can help take positive action.
Our robust citizen science program approach contributes to this mission by:
 |
Building capacity for community to collect, understand, share and act on information about reef health |
 |
Providing locally relevant and globally comparable reef health data
|
 |
Filling gaps in available monitoring data |
|
|
Providing site-level reef health data on locations that matter to local communities
|
 |
Sharing information that matters to communities in formats that are easy to understand
|
 |
Catalysing positive locally-based action for the reef |
