Reef Check Foundation

With headquarters in California and volunteer teams in more than 40 countries and territories, Reef Check Foundation is a non-profit organisation leading citizen scientists to promote stewardship of sustainable reef communities worldwide.

• We train and organise 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.
• We promote public education about reefs and the ocean. Our goal is to develop a team of ocean ambassadors with the skills and knowledge to make a tangible and meaningful difference for marine conservation in their local communities.
• We develop ecologically sound and economically sustainable solutions for reef conservation and restoration.
